AYRSHIRE HANDICAP LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP - Troon Merchants withdraw from Section D, whilst Caprington claim first spot in the knockout stages.

Troon Merchants have withdrawn from the 2022 Ayrshire Handicap League competition, due to issues in raising a team for their scheduled fixtures.

The withdrawal leaves just three teams to contest qualifying section D.

In SECTION A, there is everything to play for, with three clubs presently tied on 12 points at the top pf the table. Kilmarnock Barassie beat their visitors from Royal Troon by 4 – 2 recently but their qualification hopes took a setback in their most recent fixture when they lost 4.5 – 1.5 away to Portmann, who made it three wins from three at home with a 5 – 1 defeat of Ayr Belleisle at the end of May.

In SECTION D, Prestwick St Cuthbert are just ahead of the other two clubs in the race for qualification for the knockout stages. Loudoun, who boosted their hopes with a 4.5 – 1.5 win away at Stewarton recently, have two home games to play before the section is completed, with the crunch fixture likely to be the match with Prestwick St Cuthbert this week.

In SECTION F, Caprington became the first club to secure a place in the knockout stages of this years’ competition. A vital 4 – 2 win away to Ballochmyle moved the Kilmarnock club ahead of both the other teams in the section and despite a 6 – 0 home win over Redburn in their final fixture, Ballochmyle fell just short of Caprington’s points total. Only the fixture between Redburn and Caprington remains to be played to complete the section.
