| Arthurlie FC Dunterlie Park, Carlibar Road, Barrhead Nickname:
The 'Lie |
| Home colours: |
| Ground Details:
Dunterlie Park is confined by its surroundings. One side isn't used at all and the end by the changing rooms is rarely used by either home or away supporters. The other two sides of the ground are lined with concrete stepped terracing and there is a covered enclosure decked out in blue and white paint which is far bigger than it looks at first glance. The turnstiles are behind the railway line end and a snack bar can also be found here selling the usual pies and drinks. Social Club: Yes (a few hundred yards down the street) |

Crowds number at around 2-300, maybe higher, but largely depend on the size of game. Thousands can descend on Beechwood for big Junior Cup ties. They are named after the man who gave them Beechwood Park, Lord Talbot de Maldahide. 2001 population: Auchinleck 3512 League Record from 1990: 1990-91:

The 'Dow |
| Home colours:
|
| Ground Details:
The facilities at Meadow Park are improving. Already a new roof has been put on the stand, the terracing on one side of the ground has been improved and now work has started to build up the terraces on the stand side of the ground, the ultimate aim being to concrete the entire spectator standing area. Meadowed knock down a section of the wall at the Wilson Avenue end of the ground and converted part of the former terracing and a section of the car park into a purpose-built training pitch. Social Club: There is a bar in the main stand that is open to supporters for a pre-match drink, and sometimes at half-time. Post-match it is players and officials only. |

| Kilbirnie Ladeside FC
Valefield, Kirkland Road, Kilbirnie Nickname:
The Blasties |
| Home colours:
|
| Ground Details:
Kilbirnie Ladeside's ground is situated at the southern end of the town near the village of Glencarnock. There are two turnstiles, one on the main road and one behind the Glengarnock end goal. The two stands are quite interesting. One is decked out with wooden sleepers for terracing while the other is (like the rest of the ground) concrete stepped. Opposite the two covered enclosures is a small open terrace with the club's hospitality areas also found here. The cheapskate supporter can find many ways of viewing games here for free, either by standing on the large hill that overlooks Valefield or by looking through the mesh fence that surrounds three sides of the ground. The Ladeside committee have worked hard to spruce up the ground, and believe it is one of the best in the West of Scotland juniors. Social Club: There is no social club, but Garnock Labour Club is relatively nearby. To get there, turn right at above traffic lights, towards Dalry then 4th on left as you are just about to leave town. Another alternative is the Glendale Arms which is next to Glengarnock station and is popular with supporters. |
| Club Information:
Ladeside are probably one of the top six clubs in Ayrshire, and are one of the clubs who win trophies now and then. They have a regular and fairly vociferous support of around 150. 2001 population: Kilbirnie 7280 League Record from 1990: 1990-91:

| Kirkintilloch Rob Roy FC Adamslie Park, Glasgow Road, Kirkintilloch Nickname:
The Rabs/The Roy |
| Home
colours: |
| Ground Details: The ground is oval because there used to be a blaes athletics track around the pitch when Adamslie Park was used for the Kirkintilloch Highland Games. There's a pie stand on the shed side of the pavilion. Opposite here used to be a small seated stand that was demolished in 2003. There is also a fairly big section of covered terracing by the pavilion that runs down one half of Adamslie Park. Stepped terracing lines the entirety of the ground. In the social club before most home games there's a stall selling club kit and other merchandising goodies. Adamslie is due to be replaced in the relatively near future.
Social Club: There is no social club as it was razed to the ground by the council in May 2004. |

Set back off Hyndford Road and hidden behind houses, Moor Park has two terraced stands (one small, one big) next to each other at the halfway point of the pitch.
