Like division 1, the 3rd division was a weather-disrupted even with
Oban and Castlehill failing to show for 2 rounds. However with the
event being a Swiss rather than an all-play-all, the effect was less.
New entrants Cathcart ran out easy winners, while Prestwick B made it
a double promotion for the club by finishing in second place ahead
of the inconsistent Dumfries.
