On Sunday 21 September the three County teams of Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire and Wigtownshire met at Lochmaben Golf Club to compete for the Drennan Salver.

By lunch Dumfriesshire had 3 points from their four pairings and Kirkcudbrightshire and Dumfriesshire 1½ points each. In the afternoon singles matches Dumfriesshire showed their complete mastery of the perfect conditions and their dominance of the competition by winning six and a half of their eight matches to give them an unassailable total of 9½ points to regain the trophy. The fight for the lesser positions ended with Kirkcudbrightshire on 4½ points and Wigtownshire on 4 points.
