Removed text[edit]

I removed the following dubious statement from the article: "... and has led to a rivalry between the two largest and most successful football clubs in Ayrshire, Ayr United F.C. and Kilmarnock F.C., with the cup final generally being an Ayrshire derby"

Firstly, while I expect the Ayrshire Cup contributed to the rivalry between Killie and Ayr, it would be a stretch to claim it was solely responsible – they'd have a rivalry based on geography anyway. Secondly, while I know what the editor meant – the final was usually Ayr v Killie – the latter statement is meaningless: all Ayrshire Cup finals were "Ayrshire derbies" of some sort...
