Second place was awarded to Biggar and third place to Mauchline with the winning team’s Ellie McClymont also gaining the award for best individual overall. Best chair was awarded to Lucy Sutherland from Mauchline, best proposer to Karen Shepherd from Kilmaurs and best opposer to Carluke’s Robbie Gray.
