Finally, the Ladies and both gents league’s have come to a conclusion. In the ladies league defending champions Stewartry CSC claimed the title for the third year in a row with 7 wins and 1 draw. In the gents league it came down to the last match of the season with Dumfries A needing not to lose to claim their 8th title in a row against Beechgrove who needed to win to avoid relegation. Unfortunately after several attempts to rearrange this match it was eventually conceded by Beechgrove which handed Dumfries A the title and condemned the Moffat club to division 2. Dumfries A won 8, with 1 defeat and 1 walkover. In the new division 2 Annan Seaforth won their first title since their mixed league championship back in 1998 and are promoted to the top division. Their record was 4 wins, 1 walkover, a draw and 3 losses. Well done to Stewartry CSC, Annan Seaforth and Dumfries A.

D&G Senior Doubles Leagues Results

The South of Scotland’s 12s and under girls team travelled down to Carlisle to play in the qualifying round of the County Cup against Cumbria, Yorkshire, Durham and Cleveland and the West of Scotland at the weekend.

The South of Scotland team is selected from players who play in Ayrshire, The Borders and Dumfries & Galloway with local girl Heather Keal from Moffat, who recently won the Dumfries & Galloway under 14s championship, being selected for the 2 days. The team didn’t manage any wins over the weekend but had a good battling draw against their neighbours from Cumbria on the first day with the girls working hard throughout the two days. Heather follows in the footsteps of previous team members from D&G, Sophie Robinson and Rhona Park.

Well done to Heather as this is a great reward for all her hard work.
