The South Ayrshire lads, who reached this season's Scottish Schools Cup Quarter-Finals only sealed victory with five minutes remaining in the 80-minute match.
David McKenna bagged the consolation goal for the runners-up, who were captained by Calum Hercus and featured twins Jamie and Bobby Houston in the line-up.
Proud coach Lee Gardner said afterwards:"The lads really enjoyed the experience of playing in a major final and there was a fair crowd and a good atmosphere at the stadium.
