Tomorrow at Millbrae Ayr will have an opportunity to right the wrongs of last Saturday where Hawick ended cup hopes with a 20-13 upset.
The border's side weathered an early barrage from Ayr and were clinical down the stretch. Ayr's scores came through a Lewis Anderson try and eight points courtesy of Scott Lyle. The boys will be well aware of the threats Hawick pose and with the Millbrae faithful behind them will look to cement their place in the league play-offs.
The match is most likely going to be Ayr's last home game of the season and with club stalwarts Scott Sutherland, George Hunter and Head Coach Calum Forrester all departing the boys will look to give them a fond farewell.
Hawick have just as much on the line with them still in danger of relegation. The battle for BT Premiership survival is hotting up and with the guarantee of safety on the line they wont give an inch.
Calum Forrester has only made one change from the side that fell last week with Blair Macpherson coming back from injury and slotting into the bench.
The 2nd XV are also at home and without a win in 2018 will be hellbent on getting back to their sparkling best. Both matches kick-off at 3pm and you can follow right action every step of the way on Twitter @OfficialAyrRFC.
