AYRSHIRE SCRATCH LEAGUES - Shock development as Troon Welbeck withdraw from Division 2


In a surprise development, Troon Welbeck have withdrawn from the 2019 Ayrshire Scratch League competition, due to major issues with player availability encountered during their opening fixtures.

Having played one match and conceded another, a second fixture where the club could not muster a team to play resulted in their withdrawal from the Division 2 competition.

Consequently, all previous results this season in the competition involving Troon Welbeck have been cancelled and the league table revised accordingly.

Play in all four leagues are progressing well, with a number of results posted in recent days.

In DIVISION 1, Prestwick St Cuthbert maintained their second spot with a 3 – 3 draw away to Kilmarnock (Barassie) who bounced back from a heavy 5 – 1 home defeat to Irvine to record a 4 – 2 win away to Troon Portland, in the other matches played recently.
