The first reverse fixtures of the Premier Division are set to get underway this weekend as North Ayrshire welcome Brighton to Scotland.

The south-coast side sit second in the highest tier of the Senior British Clubs League, just one win off table topping Ormesby.

North Ayrshire got their first win on the board against Fusion, and will be hoping the turn of the season brings them a few more points.

Alex Naumi, Shoma Nishihara and David Andersson will make up the travelling trio. They have been the core of the Brighton squad this year, putting in dominant performances throughout. Andersson has two player of the match awards to his name from four ties, and has dropped just one game all campaign.

For the home side victories have been hard to come by so far after a tricky start to the season. In the opening round they went down 7-0 to this weekend’s opponent, but have built momentum and will be hoping to put up more of a fight at home. 

Viktor Gorman who has a 100% record since his first match in November will not be part of the matchday squad. Martin Johnson, Billy Shilton & Chris Main will make up the home team. 

The remaining round 6 matches will be played on 25th and 26th January. BATTS will host fusion on Saturday 26th with Ormesby travelling to Drumchapel Glasgow the following day.
