It's been a fantastic weekend of rugby in Scotland with the highlight for Ayr RFC naturally being crowned RBS Premiership Winners 2012/2013 on Saturday after a seven-try victory over Currie at Millbrae.
It started on Friday evening as Glasgow Warriors beat Ulster 20-14 in the Rabo Direct Pro12, with former Ayr player Pat MacArthur starting at hooker. Nick Campbell also featured, coming on as a replacement for Ryan Wilson with ten minutes to go.
At the same time, Ayr's two young tyros Robbie Fergusson and D'arcy Rae (pictured below) were turning out for Scotland under-20s in their narrow victory over their Irish counterparts at Netherdale.
On Saturday morning, Scotland Women under-20s recorded an encouraging 17-7 victory over Finland at Lasswade, with Ayr's Emily Irving making her age-grade international debut. A match report and video are available here.
The excitement of Saturday afternoon at Millbrae led to a few sore heads on Sunday when the club welcomed international supporters to watch Scotland beat Ireland, with Irish stew laid on as well face painting and a mechanical bull to keep the small and big kids happy.
It's been a great weekend and it's onwards and upwards, as Ayr turn their attention to the Scottish Cup next Saturday when they welcome Stirling to Millbrae.
