AYRSHIRE 6.5 STIRLINGSHIRE 1.5
The other match scheduled for Sunday 19th October was the match between Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire at Eastwood. Apparently during the fixture the Lanarkshire players and officials refuced to continue with the match, citing 'overhead conditions' as the reason and, despite the course still being open and playable, opted to concede the match to their hosts Renfrewshire. As a result, under the rules of the competition, an 8 - 0 score was awarded to Renfrewshire.
As a consequence of the awarded match scoreline, the destination of the 2014 title is still very much undecided, the 8 - 0 scoreline bringing Renfrewshire up to an identical tie difference with Ayrshire, albeit that Ayrshire remain two points ahead in the table overall.
The position going into the last weekend is that if Ayrshire get a draw or a win in their final match away from home against Lanarkshire at Lanark they will retain the title but if Ayrshire lose their final fixture then a win by any margin for Renfrewshire over Dumbartonshire at Milngavie will give them the title on tie difference.
The other scheduled fixture in the final week is Stirlingshire Vs Glasgow at Buchanan Castle.
present positions going into the final week are :-
