Historical Note: This victory marks a significant milestone in Polmaise Bowling Club's history - their first trophy win, just three years after the club's founding. The "youngest combination in the competition" showed their developing skill by defeating more established clubs from Cowie, Cambusbarron, and Borestone with a substantial 40-shot margin. This achievement laid the foundation for many future successes and helped establish Polmaise as a competitive force in local bowling.
