In a week that saw the top Scottish football sides bite the dust in a pathetic manner in Europe, Bodog sponsored side Ayr United, who play in the Scottish First Division, have managed to keep up their recent good run of form with two wins and a draw in the past seven days.

Hotly tipped as one of the favourites for relegation this season due to their part time status, Ayr United have been punching above their weights with constant tip top performances against not only the favourites in the league but also remain unbeaten in all cup competitions, keeping open the Somerset Park supporters fantasy dream of a quadruple trophy haul.

The last seven days have seen a hard fought draw against promotion hopefuls Falkirk last weekend, a midweek win in the Community League Cup against SPL side Inverness and this Saturday saw a last minute goal from Ross Robertson clinch all three points in a match that handed the Ayr team their first league win in four outings to move the Honest Men into fifth spot in the league table. The irony of Rosscos last minute goal was not lost on most Ayr United supporters, as they have watched opponent teams have last minute goals chalked off for offside in the previous two matches.

Maybe Ayr United have some karma working in their favour this season or maybe it's just the Bodog/Calvin Ayre golden touch effect rubbing off on them, whatever the reason, let it continue!

The midweek cup win against Ex England captain Terry Butchers Inverness side was in particular a special night, as it not only saw the first match under the newly erected floodlights, but also saw Ayr continue with their excellent recent record of defeating sides from the top tier of Scottish Football with a well earned 1-0 victory.

No one could deny that Ayr have deserved these victories as recent signings Michael McGowan, John Robertson and Martyn Campbell have all slotted well into a side that includes many youth players like Ross Robertson, Roddy Paterson and Gareth Armstrong. This contrast in youth and experience has perhaps given the Ayr side a new impetus this season with many other sides continuing down the experienced player route and abandoning their youth set up.

Michael Moffat has continued to pay dividends if you fancy a flutter on first goal scored with Eddie Malone also being a surprise package that will have stung a few bookies pockets with his back of the net goalscoring antics of recent matches. The Moff in particular has sparked a light in Bodog's betting sportsbook with a top scorer race being placed on himself and English Premier sponsored side West Broms star player Odemwinge.

Next up for Super Ayr is the quarter final of the Ramsdens Cup which sees them pitched against third division side Annan Athletic in a match that many Ayr fans will see as a great opportunity to progress to the semi finals given their teams recent form but manager Brian Reid will be wary and quick to point out to the supporters that Annan have won all four league matches so far this season and will be no pushover.
