With less than three weeks to go until the conclusion of the qualifying matches, there are a number of important fixtures still to be completed to decide the four semi finalists in the 2005 League Championship
In Section A, St. Cuthbert won an important crunch match this week with a 3.5 - 2.5 advantage away to Ballochmyle. Ballochmyle had earlier renewed their challenge with home wins over Routenburn and New Cumnock by 4-2 and 6-0 respectively. In the other match played recently, Annanhill moved into mid table with a 4-2 home win over Routenburn. Present positions in the section are :-
TEAM P/W/D/L/F/A/Dif/Pts

ROUTENBURN 5/1/1/3/12.5/17.5/-5/6
NEW CUMNOCK 5/0/2/3/8/22/-14/ 2
St. Cuthbert and Ballochmyle both face away matches in their final fixtures, which will decide who qualifies for the semi finals, with St. Cuthbert travelling to New Cumnock on Saturday 23 July and Ballochmyle visiting Routenburn the following day. New Cumnock will be keen to gain their first win of the season, whilst Routenburn, who also have remaining home matches against Annanhill and New Cumnock will be hoping for a late charge to secure a high finishing spot in the section.
In Section B, West Kilbride secured a 4-2 win at Kilmarnock Barassie to move into second in the table. Present positions are :-
TEAM/P/W/D/L/F/A/Dif/Pts
LARGS 5/4/0/1/19.5/10.5/+9/16
WEST KILBRIDE 5/4/0/1/17.5/12.5/+5/16

BARASSIE 6/1/1/4/16.5/19.5/-3/6
ST. MEDDANS 6/1/0/5/11/25/-14/4
In a close section, three teams can still take the top spot, with 6 fixures remaining to be completed by the end of July.
In Section C, Kilbirnie's hopes crashed with their first defeat of the season, by 5-1 at Belleisle, being followed by a 4.5-1.5 loss on their trip to Loudoun. Troon Welbeck took over top spot after a 5.5 - 0.5 home win over St. Nicholas. Present positions in the section are :-
TEAM P/W/D/L/F/A/Dif/Pts
TROON WELBECK 6/3/2/1/22.5/13.5/+9/16
AYR BELLEISLE 6/3/2/1/21/15/+6/16
LOUDOUN 6/3/0/3/19.5/16.5/+3/12
KILBIRNIE PLACE 5/3/0/2/14.5/15.5/-1/12
ST. NICHOLAS 5/0/0/5/6.5/23.5/-17/0
With 6 fixtures remaining to be completed in the section, any one of four teams still have hopes of reaching the semi finals.
In Section D, Caprington installed themselves as favourites to topple the defending champions, Ardeer, after recording their second successive win in the section, a 4-2 home win over Ravenspark. Present positions in the section are:-
TEAM/P/W/D/L/F/A/Dif/Pts
CAPRINGTON 2/2/0/0/8.5/3.5/+5/8
RAVENSPARK 4/2/0/2/12.5/11.5/+1/8
ARDEER 4/2/0/2/11.5/12.5/-1/8
SKELMORLIE 2/0/0/2/3.5/8.5/-5/0
With 6 section matches still to be completed, three of the four teams could still qualify, with only Skelmorlie's task looking unlikely in the quest for the semi finals.

AYRSHIRE JUNIOR GOLF LEAGUE - Champions ousted in nailbiting under 16 quarter final.
West Kilbride, winners of the Under 16 Knockout Trophy in 2004, relinquished their title in dramatic fashion on Monday, 27th June, losing out by the narrowest of margins to the club whom they defeated in last seasons final of the competition, Prestwick St. Cuthbert.
The match, played at St. Cuthbert, finished drawn at 2-2. In the lead tie, Stephen McConnell put the home side ahaed with a 6&4 win over Michael Roos, but the advantage was cancelled out when Grant Weir levelled the match for the visitors, beating A. Miller of the home club by the same 6&4 margin.
With the other two matches, between G. McIlloney and Ross De Courcy, and D. Brown and Kieran Howie both finishing level after 18 holes, the countback score in the match was also tied at 10-10.
The rules of the competition dictated that the lead match play off over sudden death holes, and when McConnell bunkered his approach to the first play off hole, whilst Roos reached the green, advantage seemed to be with the visitors.
Unfortunately for the visitors this did not prove to be the case, a three putt by Roos being compounded when McConnell got up and down from the bunker to save par and take the match for St. Cuthbert.
