AYRSHIRE HANDICAP LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP - Rowallan Castle through to semi finals but all other sections remain close


Rowallan Castle have booked their place in the semi finals of the Ayrshire Handicap League Championship

In SECTION A, Braehead lead the way from Royal Troon and Ayr Dalmilling with only a few fixtures still to take place.

A 4 – 2 defeat by Troon Merchants, at Troon,  was tempered by a 3.5 – 2.5 win on their visit to Kilmarnock Barassie but the Dalmilling qualification hopes were all but ended when they suffered a crushing 5 – 1 defeat at home to Braehead.
