Five of the eight quarter final places have been decided in the 2021 Ayrshire Handicap League Championship competition, following completion of a number of fixtures recently.

Turnberry are away from home in the two remaining fixtures in the section, at Kilbirnie and Moorpark, and substantial wins in both could still see Turnberry edging out Moorpark for the automating quarter final place.
