With three weeks left for the men’s league 1 it was ladies and the men’s league 2 which took centre stage.

Defending champions Stewartry CSC went into a double header this week knowing that victory against Annan and avoid defeat against Dalbeattie should be enough to claim their 4 title in a row. The match against Annan went as the league table suggested as Stewartry won the match 4-0 to set up the Dalbeattie match. With home advantage and sitting with 8 wins out of 8 Stewartry started as strong favourites for this match and that’s the way it went as the took the first 2 rubbers which pretty much secured the title as they went on to win the match 3-1 on the night. This leaves them 5 points clear of both Dumfries and Dalbeattie who go head to head on Wednesday to see who finishes runner up in the league.

In the men’s 2nd division last years relegated team Beechgrove entertained Kirkcudbright knowing that victory would secure a return to the top league at the first time of asking. Having only dropped one point this year they were favourites to win on home soil and that’s the way it went with a 4-0 victory to gin promotion.

Well done to both teams.
