Duddingston, represented by what was probably the strongest side in terms of handicaps in the event’s history, retained the Dispatch Trophy as the 124th edition concluded with the gorse at the Braids having lost its colour but proving threatening nonetheless.
Matching Mortonhall’s feat in 2018 and 2019, Duddingston made it back-to-back triumphs as newcomers in the historic team tournament as this year’s Edinburgh Leisure-run event was completed on Saturday after being disrupted by bad weather in May.
The morning semi-finals produced wins for Duddingston and six-time winners Silverknowes over Heriot’s FP and Riccarton respectively before the holders came out on top in the afternoon’s trophy decider.
