Tam O Shanter had a free pass into the handicap final at Riverside and Scottsdale overcame Mowbray last week to be their opponent.
Played under cloudy skies with a nippy wind, Scottsdale had the early ascendancy but once the sun broke through onto the well-manicured Riverside course, they raced away to win the final 6-1.
The Krushka family had a day out with Shaun, Riley and Jasper all victorious, captain Jock Ferguson, John Wood and Phil Knight all had strong wins whilst Steven Ratcliffe was the solo victor for Tam O Shanter.
Congratulations to both teams for the great spirit the match was played in and to Riverside for providing their course and assistance for the finals.
