AYR Seaforth’s combined male and female teams finished fifth from eight clubs in the second match of the Central and South of Scotland League Division One at Grangemouth on Sunday.

Despite several excellent results and personal bests, the disappointing final team result was down to too many events not being covered due to missing athletes.
