East Lothian v the World (but only the part of it that comprises North Scotland)
East Lothian Province Clubs sent 8 teams to Ice Rinks in Lockerbie, Greenock, Kinross, Forfar and Edinburgh to compete in the 2025 Indoor Grand Match, representing the South of Scotland. Everyone involved had an enjoyable and mostly successful day of curling and socialising.
The various Clubs scores were:
East Linton 1 8 - 3 Verses Kippen
East Linton 2 5 - 7 v Broomhall
Yester 6 - 4 v Broomhall 2
Markle 9 - 5 v Forfar Young Curlers
Athelstaneford 1 7 - 7 v Clunie
Athelstaneford 2 7 - 6 v Forfar 2
Aberlady 8 - 5 v Bridge of Allan
Haddington 20 - 3 v Oban
That is a total of six wins and one peel and one loss. The South were overall winners with a margin of 69 shots up. East Lothian Province Teams provided almost 50% of that winning margin, with a cumulative score of 34.
Special mention must go to the Haddington Team of Andy McDiarmid, Graeme Maguire, Roy Black and Heather Harpur who in their fourth end managed a steal of 8 ! The only 8 to be scored in the Grand Match this year and giving them the highest winning margin (certainly at Greenock)
and winning them a bottle of whiskey each.
