PRESTWICK Cricket Club regained the under 18 Frank Smith Trophy when they beat Poloc in the final at Shawholm.

Ross Patterson (5-20) and Archie McDonald (3-17) restricted the hosts to 85-8 on a difficult wicket. In reply, Prestwick sneaked home at 86-8 with two balls to spare, Fraser Rodger top scoring with 26.

Prestwick, who won the trophy in 2008 and were runners-up last year, were joint winners of the under 18 league along with Clydesdale.

The under 15s, who won their league, crushed Uddingston last week. Prestwick ran up 145-4 (Chris Scott 50 not out, Patterson 40, Eoin Baillie 31) and then held the visitors to 42-4.
