After a disappointing start to 2020 for all of the Millbrae outfits this weekend offers a shot at redemption.
Watsonians derailed the Ayrshire Bulls last Saturday in what was a difficult afternoon for Peter Murchie's men. No time to lick their wounds however, and this Sunday could be the perfect remedy to get their FOSROC Super6 campaign back on track. The squad is bolstered by the timely return of Grant Anderson after a long lay off through injury. Ayr Rugby's most decorated man enjoyed a cameo off the bench last week and is ready to enter the fray, earning his first start for the newly-formed Bulls. Also bagging his first start is prop Michael Scott, who replaces Ruairidh Sayce at loosehead. On the wings Matt Davidson and Craig Gossman return to replace Lee Jones and Tom Lewis. The bench is strengthed by the return of Isaac McNulty, who'll be keen to get his teeth stuck in when called. He last featured for the Bulls back in November against Boroughmuir Bears before a concussion ruled him out for the rest of the year. Harry Warr and Danny McCluskey are also back in. The game kicks off at 14.00 on Sunday and you can secure you tickets at the bottom of this page. If you can't make the trip to Millbrae enjoy the action online at this link:
Stuart Fenwick's men have fallen from form after a fantastic start to their 2019/20 season. A young and resilient group, they have shown prowess and potential in bucket-loads when firing, but can struggle to get over the line when paying against the tide. A revamped squad will aim to seek redemption tomorrow against Watsonians. One man who will look to make an impression is Ciaran Wood, who marks his debut with a start at full back. Skipper David Young misses out alongside Seth Rae, making room for Kerr Borland and Josh Lawton. Scott Clelland shifts to his natural position of hooker with Stuart Collier absent and Ben Cree comes in at tighthead. The game kicks-off at Myreside at 15.00 and you can follow the action every step of the way on Twitter @OfficialAyrRFC. Ayr/Millbrae are also taking to the field away from home. They travel to Ainniesland to face GHK 2XV. They kick-off at 14.00.
