It was a familiarly soggy story in the west where the final day of the Western Union was wrecked by rain though there were few complaints from Prestwick who were crowned champions for the first time.

The Ayrshire side, who topped the table throughout the second half of the campaign, clinched the title when their Torrance House clash with East Kilbride was abandoned – a result which also relegated the home

The cancellation meant second placed Ferguslie could not catch Prestwick – regardless of the outcome of their match against Uddingston. That game, too, was ultimately abandoned.

Prestwick skipper Shahzad Rafiq said: “We’d much rather have played and won it in style but we still have lots to celebrate.

“This title is the culmination of three years of hard work and we have played the best cricket of any team in the league this season.

“It’s a great feeling.”

Prestwick now progress to next week’s CS Grand Final to face Heriot’s.

In the only match to survive Dumfries ended the season on a high with victory over Poloc at Nunholm.
