Turnberry 1-6 KaisAYR (Ayr United)

KaisAYR eventually romped to a resounding victory over Turnberry, despite only managing a 2-1 half-time lead despite a dominant performance at Victory Park in Girvan.
Doddsy was handed to the right-back slot which gave him his 50th appearance for the club. Halfway to his target of 100 appearances, just days after his 45th birthday - easily achievable after another typically solid and determined performance.
KaisAYR started well and could have been out of sight early in the first half, but a poor final pass was preventing the opening goal from arriving against a defence that were happy to camp inside their own area, before trying to hit on the break with long balls from the back.
Grammy came close to opening the scoring with a well-struck 25 yard free-kick that the goalkeeper spectacularly palmed over the bar.
Despite looking under little pressure, the opening goal arrived in the 36th minute and it was scored by the Turnberry outfit. One of the long balls found a suspiciously offside striker and he ran on to beat Anthony for the opening goal.
This spurred KaisAYR - or Steve Noble to be more precise - into action and he took the bull by the horns straight from kick-off, driving in from the left past several challenges and almost driving the ball off Matt's legs to mark an instant equaliser.
It looked like the lead would be doubled when Cole made inroads and cut the ball back to his strike-partner, Pete, but his shot was turned onto the bar by a defender and his sweetly struck follow-up was somehow saved by the goalkeeper.
When Cole hit the post a minute later you began to wonder if it was just one of those nights, but right on half-time Bell collected the ball in midfield from a throw-in and sent Cole through to score the second.
Eddie made seven half-time substitutions after guaranteeing everyone a half, and this prompted a goal-rush after the break.
When Cole went down inside the box, Bell dispatched the penalty to make the game comfortable. Just on the hour mark, Cole took a nasty blow to the face which saw his cheek swell up - ironically seconds before he was about to be replaced by Steve.
A few more substitions were made on the hour mark, and one of them added the fourth. Steve's pass in-behind allowing Pete to rifle the ball past the keeper.
Kenny added a fifth goal after good work by Dynamo down the right, and trialist striker Steve notched the sixth with a cool lob.
Next up are Sporting AFC ahead of the second league game of the season at home to Intermalamb.
