The competition is now in its second half, and with Ayr on equal points with league leaders Melrose, they will be focused on some strong showings in the run-up to Christmas.
Ayr beat Currie's young guns 53-10 in the first game of the season at Millbrae in August, but the Balerno-based side has matured over the weeks and the players always lift themselves for home fixtures at the picturesque Malleny Park.
The Ayr coaching team of Calum Forrester, Glen Tippett and Scott Forrest have had a good week of training with their charges.
"Our players can't wait to get back on the pitch following last week's disappointment, so it's set to be a cracker on Saturday," says Forrester.
The Ayr squad is boosted by the return from injury of the influential Ross Curle, Frazier Climo and Will Bordill, with George Hunter moving back to his usual spot in the front row.
