The Cricket Scotland Grand Final, officially the Cricket Scotland Premier League Grand Final, is an annual playoff match between the winners of the two highest regional cricket leagues in Scotland, the Eastern Premier League and the Western Premiership. The winner of the playoff becomes the national champion. The current champions are Clydesdale.

History

After the fragmentation of the Scotland-wide Scottish National Cricket League (SNCL) into separate regional leagues, the joint highest in the new pyramid became the Eastern Premier League and Western Premiership. To determine the Scotland-wide champion for the season, the Grand Final was created as a playoff between the champions of the two leagues.[1]

The Grand Final trophy was named the Willie Morton Trophy in honour of former Scotland all-rounder Willie Morton.[2]
