The Biggar girls proved their class by winning seven games out of eight during this campaign, with their solitary defeat coming via the narrowest possible margin of just one point.

Biggar High School PE teacher Fiona Thomson said that the outstanding shooting of Lindsay Wight and Niamh Stewart had proved decisive this season, in addition to the efforts of the defence and link players.
