It was fitting that Ayr kicked off their first pre-season fixture and final outing with head coach Kenny Murray at the helm at Cartha QP. Kenny joined Ayr from the southside of Glasgow club five years ago, and he prowled the touchline in the black training top and shorts for the last time as the side he has steered to cup and league glory notched up fourteen tries to nil.
The match at Dumbreck was split into four quarters, with personnel being changed at each interval, so everyone got a run-out and all kicks were abandoned with the focus purely on tries. Touching down, amongst others, were promising youngsters Murray Beckwith and Scott Houston, with a brace a piece from Robbie Fergusson, Peter McCallum and Richard Dalgliesh. Andrew Dunlop and Dean Kelbrick also scored. Cartha were unable to stop the men in pink and black and unfortunately could not find a way through their defence.
The teams repaired to the clubhouse to give Kenny a warm send-off. We wish him all the very best in his new role at Glasgow Warriors.
