However, Webb put Robert Gordon’s back in front shortly before half-time, striking home from open play to give his side a 2-1 lead.
Not to be out-done, Prichard was once again on the scoresheet, netting his second penalty corner goal three minutes after the half-time interval.
Two goals from Calum Scott sealed the win for Robert Gordon’s, striking home penalty corners in the 46th and 51st minute to make it 4-2.
Lorne Robb pulled one back for Glenalmond, but it was not enough to stop the plate going back to Aberdeen.

Ali Richmond gave Hutchesons’ Grammar School an early lead in the S3 Boys Cup Final against Douglas Academy, scoring from a penalty corner in the 13th minute.
However, Douglas Academy equalised in the 24th minute through a Roshan Anderson goal, before Rory McDiarmid made it 2-1 to the Academy in the 37th minute.
Nonetheless, Hutchesons’ were immediately back on level terms, with Struan Walker grabbing the equaliser sixty seconds later.
Walker put Hutchesons’ into 3-2 lead in the 45th minute, but Bannerman ensured the game would go to a shoot-out, scoring a field goal four minutes from time.
Subsequently, it was Douglas Academy who prevailed in the proceeding penalties contest, winning 2-1 to win the Cup.
In the S3 Boys Plate final, Fettes College stormed into a 3-0 half-time lead courtesy of a first half double from George Connor and a field goal from Harry Paterson.
However, Stuart Thurlow got his side back into the contest with a strike in the 33rd minute to make it 1-3, before Kyle McGhie reduced the deficit to one three minutes later. The equalising goal came in the 40th minute through a Thurlow penalty corner.
With the sides deadlocked at 3-3 come the full-time whistle, it was Loretto who held their nerve to win the resulting penalty shoot-out 2-1.
