Ayr United set for pre-season clash with West of Scotland champions Darvel

Ayr United are to play West of Scotland League champions Darvel as part of their pre-season build-up.

The Honest Men will return to training on Friday, June 10 ahead of the new Championship campaign.

And they’re scheduled to face Mick Kennedy’s newly crowned title winners behind closed doors on June 28.

Other closed doors warm ups include Dumbarton, Stranraer and Falkirk.

Lee Bullen’s squad will get their competitive season underway in the Premier Sports Cup, which kicks off on July 9.

The draw for the group stages is made at lunchtime today.

The new league campaign begins on July 30.

•Ayr’s chances of retaining Kerr McInroy for another year are now slim with significant interest in the midfielder following his impressive loan stint at Somerset.

United remain keen on keeping Tomi Adeloye but the striker has yet to decide his future following his 14-goal debut season.

Meanwhile, Ayr have given a trio of promising youths their first pro deals this week.

Sixteen-year-old Max Guthrie has signed a three-year contract, while Dario Viviani and Carter Jenkins have agreed two-year terms.

•United have now put their season tickets on sale.

Until Wednesday, June 1, all adult, concession and disabled renewals or purchases will receive a £10 gift voucher to use in the club shop.

Prices are set at:Adults £285; Concessions (65 & Over and Students) £180; Disabled £180; Juvenile (13-17) £100; Child (12 and under) £30.

Commercial boss Martin Tocker said: “Ticket sales are our biggest revenue generator and a vital part in our ability to compete on and off the park.

“Last season saw some of the highest season ticket sales for the club for a number of years and we’d love to not only retain those numbers, but build on it and encourage more Ayr United supporters to join us every second week at Somerset Park.”
