Stewartry Captain, Jenny Yates, said: “I honestly thought we’d lost it but there was determination and we never gave up.
“We said before the game we play for the badge and we play for the heart and we did, we came through it and we played for each other and that’s the most important thing.
“We’ve never had support like that – you can’t describe it. There were so many Ayr and Stewartry supporters, boys and girls, the whole club came out and the whole day has ended perfectly.”
“I honestly thought we’d lost it but there was determination and we never gave up.”
