Melrose v Ayr - BT Premiership final preview

Ayr travel to the Greenyards tomorrow to battle it out with Melrose for the title of BT Premiership champions, kicking off at 3pm.

After eighteen regular games, two semi-finals and nearly 200 tries scored between them over the past seven months, eighty minutes in the pretty Borders town will decide who lifts the trophy.

"Ayr and Melrose have enjoyed a number of great battles over recent years and it is fitting that it has come down to the wire again this season," says Ayr head coach Calum Forrester. "Rob (Chrystie, Melrose head coach) has done an outstanding job with his squad. We are fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. We have prepared well and the players are in a good place."

There is only one change to the starting line-up, with Stafford McDowall moving to inside centre.
