Lemi feels the draft as he prepares for winter in Ayr

DAVID Lemi may soon swap the delights of summer in Samoa for Millbrae in winter after the new Glasgow signing was snapped up by Ayr in the latest club draft of professional players.

Players from Edinburgh and Glasgow have been re-drafted to clubs who qualified for the Premier A finale to the club season, ensuring they all have a fair chance of having one or two pros available when the competition resumes on 14 January.

The league has split into RBS Premier A, B and C and the new draft covers all 23 professional players who were originally drafted to Glasgow Hawks, Heriot’s, Edinburgh Accies and Hawick – the clubs who missed out on the top eight – and new signings.
