Report from the Marchmont website here.
This surprisingly convincing victory means that Holy Cross 1st XI finish 2nd in Division 1.
This equals their performance (in a differently structured East League: after the formation of the SNCL but before the Leagues and Grades were amalgamated) in 1997, when they finished 2nd to Cupar (and, as in 2011, just above Marchmont in third. Funnily enough Fauldhouse finished bottom of Div 1 that year!). Good stuff guys.

Captain Andy shoulders blame for 3's Smellies stinker!
With the 3rds always the Bridesmaids and never the Bride, it was an honour bestowed on Captain Chaos Andy Graham to lead his 3rds to a day at Arbo.
The sun was shining but unfortunately it was an interested spectators SON that shone brightly. The teenage Allan was on fire, taking an incredible 5 Cross wickets for a miserly 6 runs! His dad reliably informing us that he doesn't even get a chance to bowl for the school....
Nevin was first back to the sheds and it was Allan who unsurprisingly took the catch! 5-1.
Mahmood was clearly missing his opening partner and decided to rejoin him, trapped LBW and Lohan gave him the finger without delay. 20-2 after 7 overs.
It went from 41-3 to 44-5 as Allan quickly despatched Cunningham & Williamson, with the former throwing his dummy out the pram, his bat to the ground and his batting gloves across Arbo!
Coco came - and Coco went. Reaching out for the unreachable and a slight nick was caught behind. 44-5 and it was looking grim.
Ellis Snr was next to fall, LBW to yip, you guessed it and seconds later Ghafur was gone for a duck.
Lohan was skittled and Michael from the Rugby Club done well to miss the ball as often as the bowler missed the stumps. Finally, the Cross were put out their misery.
Sunday sees the Stockbridge Duck Race and the 3s were challenging them for the amount of ducks on show in one afternoon. We saw 4 at Arbo....
After Tea, a Cross 3's team took to the field with an unusual look to it - there were at least 4 without a bus pass!
An early breakthough from Captain Chaos in the 2nd over gave hope but Andy was quickly showing signs of pain as he clutched his shoulder - was it a torn heart-ilage at the prospect of a crashing defeat? The Broonster twice asking if a replacement fielder was required such was the concern..
Sadly, in the 15th over, it was erm, over. Fortress Arbo had it's gates battered - but not breached.
When will Arbo see it's likes again? Judging by other comments on here, not likely for a while...
