Area 5 Bonspiel 2014 – results & report
At Murrayfield Curling Rink on Friday 5 December
2015 our three Provinces, Peeblesshire, Midlothian and East Lothian each
had two teams competing along with two Royal Caledonian Curling Club
teams for the Black Bull Trophy. This model of an Aberdeen Angus bull
was presented in 1976 by Major ARM ‘Sandy’ Dunlop, one time President of
Edinburgh Curling Club and hotelier.
Before yesterday’s bonspiel, the list of winners had Midlothian’s
name on it sixteen times, Peebles twice, The Royal Club nine and East
Lothian – last year’s winners – 11 times.
All eight teams completed the twelve ends scheduled, as well as the
stacked-brooms time half-way through. With ‘shots up’ the aim of the
game , some teams distinguished themselves, not least the Peeblesshire
team skipped by John Dykes, who took a six in the first end of their
game against a Royal Club team. The Peebles 2 team took a four from East
Lothian 1 in the first end of their game, and East Lothian 2 with Dan
Arrondale skipping took a four early in the day on their way to
accumulating 13 shots at the final bell.
After all cards had been returned and checked, the Shots Up scores were:
The Royal Club – 2
East Lothian – 2
Midlothian + 2
Peeblesshire 0
Congratulations to Midlothian’s teams skipped by Province President
Sean Murphy and 2012 Canadian Tour man Ian Keron. Commiserations to
John Dykes and Robert Robertson of Peeblesshire who got so nearly there.
Getting so close might have given Peeblesshire the extra focus to give
us all an even keener fight next year. A special mention for Tom
Middlemass and his team for scoring in eight of the twelve ends.
A few players who had special things to do early in the evening and
weren’t able to stay for the high tea missed out on good food and
company and a very sociable time. Bonspiels can and should be a special
blend of curlers who’ve been round the circuit before and others who, by
enjoying the occasion, make now friends and strengthen their commitment
to curling. We were. We did!

Pairs and Knock-out 2013 – 14
It was a busy week at Murrayfield which saw
both the second and final rounds of the Pairs on Sunday followed by the
Semi-Final and Final of the Knock-out the following Saturday.Morgan Nicoll and Dale Callander of Aberlady ensured that Athelstaneford would not be taking a second successive clean sweep of East Lothian’s silverware by beating them 4 – 2 in the Pairs Semi-Final. Aberlady then went on to beat Dirleton 3 – 2 in the Final to enable Morgan to hold the trophy (donated by his family) aloft for the first time.
Congratulations also to Chris Tabraham and Ian Donald of Doo’cot who beat Yester 4 – 1 to win the Low Road. This is the first win of any Province Trophy for Doo’cot who were only beaten by the High Road Winners, Aberlady this year.
The final of the Knock-out was a tight affair with Athelstaneford eventually getting the better of Dirleton. The score was 5 – 5 at the bell. Callum Harvey drew the four foot first, then Robin Aitken drew to take the game.
This marks a hat-trick for Athelstaneford having won the trophy for the last three years (previously under the captaincy of J Shedden). This is the second time that they have achieved this feat which they last managed in 1998 – 2000. It is also interesting to note that these are the only six times that they have won the trophy. Haddington are the only other club to have achieved the hat-trick when they went on to win four times in a row from 2001 – 2004.
Good luck to Athelstaneford at the Province Championship next November.

Chanty Challenge
Following the ‘Black Bull’ win, East Lothian’s trophy cabinet (Alex’s sideboard) is now enhanced with the Borders Chanty.Following a lovely December drive down to Kelso, Alex, Robin and Mike managed to record three good wins. Graeme took it upon himself not to embarrass the hosts by gifting them the game but not the match. The day was concluded with some personal reminiscences, drink and a fine meal. We were also reminded that the proper name for the trophy and competition was the ‘Chanty Challenge’ and that the ‘p’ word should not be used.
Thanks to everyone involved.

The ‘Black Bull’ Comes Home
East Lothian’s team at the Area 5 Bonspiel at Murrayfield on Friday 6 December 2013, brought home the ‘Bull’. Quite appropriate this year when our President is heavily involved in Pedigree Cattle! Our experienced teams again led the way and provided our Province with a good win of which we can be justifiably proud.This Bonspiel brings together Midlothian, Peeblesshire and East Lothian under the Area 5 banner. Each Province fields two teams, as does the Royal Club which this year included Willie Nichol, Chairman of the Board of the RCCC and David Henderson, Vice President.
East Lothian’s skips were Morgan Nicoll and Robin Aitken, with Alex King, Andy Aberdein, Colin Baird, David Affleck, Tom Middlemass and Callum Harvey. Ian Tulloch, our Vice President was in attendance.
East Lothian showed their class by coming out 10 shots up. with the next highest being the Royal Club with 3, Peebles with 2 and Midlothian a bit further back.
The programme for this Bonspiel combines good curling and social time. Club players, recent Tour players, former Internationalists and senior Office Bearers alike played and made the most of the opportunity, and East Lothian is to be congratulated in having proved again that it has plenty of curling talent.
Half Callum, Alex, Tom, Morgan and Robin

There is an update on East Linton’s history on the ‘History’ tab.EL Province KO – Final Results
Posted on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 5:46pm
Athelstaneford came out winners of the Province Knock Out on Sunday 10 March 2013, and will field a team in the National Province Championships 2013-14. They got to the final by beating Haddington, then Dirleton.Opponents Aberlady had beaten Yester, followed by Doo’cot, but they couldn’t repeat that run of wins in the final, conceding five shots to Athelstaneford while taking only two.
Athelstaneford took one from the first end, which was followed by a blanked end thanks to Aberlady Skip, Morgan Nicoll, hitting the only blue and rolling out.
In the third end, Morgan made use of the hammer by drawing to beat the three opposition stones.
Some of the first stones of the fourth end were short. Athelstaneford held the end despite a mixture of delicate and heavy stones from both teams. Eventually, John Shedden drew a stone to the button to take a two for Athelstaneford.
The fifth end saw short early stones until Athelstaneford got one past guard to lie hidden on the blue circle. Try as they might, Aberlady couldn’t negotiate round or through, and Athelstaneford took a one.
Morgan again drew close to the button in the sixth end to get a single.
In the seventh and final end, Aberlady looked good until Athelstaneford’s Sean Govan’s second stone hit and lay. Athelstaneford then stayed ahead with one stone until Morgan once again made his two stones count but was beaten by Athelstaneford’s last to give them the end by one.
There was a bigger than usual audience for this game, which was good to see, and both teams were well received as they came off the ice.
Final Score: Athelstaneford 5; Aberlady 2
Teams:
Athelstaneford: John Shedden; Robin Aitken; Sean Govan; Alec Kerr
Aberlady: Morgan Nicoll; Graeme Maguire; Sandy Nicoll; Lorna Nicoll

EL Province KO Final (new date)
Posted on Monday, February 11, 2013 at 2:32pm
A new date has been set for the final of the Province Knock Out. It will now be contested on Sunday 10 March 2013 at 3.45 pm between Aberlady and Athelstanford.
This should be a good game to watch or to play in as Aberlady’s
only win was in 2006 while Athelstaneford are current holders of the RBS
trophy and have five wins to their credit.
Waldie-Griffith 2012 / 2013
Posted on Friday, February 8, 2013 at 11:49am
Waldie-Griffith Inter-Province Competition
West of Fife at home to East Lothian
President Alex King led the East Lothian four-team contingent to
Kirkcaldy on Thursday 7 February 2013. The fact that the ice was the
same for all players meant that the West of Fife players who use
Kirkcaldy had a short-term advantage over the East Lothian players for
whom the surface, for stone and foot, took a bit of getting used to.
The teams skipped by Alex King and Gael Pollitt got their control
soon enough for them each to take the first end by one. Graeme Maguire
and Mike Wood were both down going into the second end, and while Gael
cancelled the deficit in the second, Mike finished the second five down
after which he got a grip – which ever way you wish to take that –
taking two fours, a three and a single to finish 12 to West of Fife’s 9.
Gael took six of the eight ends against Beverley Brown’s two in which she took a six and a four, leaving them peels on ten.
Alex King took three ends, including a four, that saw them finish 6 – 6 against Jim Brydie.
Graeme Maguire took the second, third, fourth, sixth and eighth
ends to three by the Dunfermline Ladies rink, and came out with eight
shots to their four – although much of the time the situation was much
closer than that margin might suggest.
Having peeled two games and won two, East Lothian were 7 shots up
overall. The conditions for the Waldie-Griffith competition require that
the net shots up are divided by the number of teams playing, hence East
Lothian stands with a ‘score’ of 1.75
The East Lothian teams were:
Alex King, Skip, with Yvonne Aitken, Shelagh Main, Colin Lowrie Peels on 6 – 6
Graeme Maguire, Skip, with John Good, John Black, Alistair Bowen Plus 4, with 8 – 4
Mike Wood, Skip, with Alec Kerr, Bob Bowie, Cathy Maclean Plus 3, with 12 – 9
Gale Pollitt, Skip, with Dan Arrandale, Robert Waddell, Stan Howard Peels on 10 10

Four Nations at Ayr 2013
Posted on Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 3:05pm
The
Four Nations was contested at Ayr Ice Rink over 19 and 20 January with
teams from Scotland (hosts), Ireland, Wales and England competing.
For the East Lothian players, Robin and Yvonne Aitken and John
Good, this was their first time in this competition. Robin and Yvonne,
playing in Mixed competition, faced Wales and Ireland and lost narrowly
to each in the last ends.
John Good played two games with Alan Durno as Skip, and they won both.
That means that Graeme Maguire still has bragging rights as he has played in two Four Nations events and has medals to prove it.

East Lothian’s Fab Four
Posted on Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 9:47am
copyright - Sheena Munro
Scotland’s curlers, including East Lothian’s John Shedden, Morgan
Nicoll, Dave Munro and Graeme Maguire have reclaimed the Strathcona Cup
from Canada with a total score of 2876 shots to 2620. This magnificent
achievement played out over 427 games moves Scotland to 10 wins overall,
one away from equalling Canada’s 11 since the competition began over
100 years ago when a team of Scots, led by Rev John Kerr of Dirleton,
went over the Atlantic.Sixty curlers left Scotland on 9th January this year to compete in three tours of Canada, East, West and Central, each comprising of 20 curlers playing in 5 teams , and they claimed their Cup victory on the final day of play on 31st January.
The Strathcona Cup is one of the oldest international curling competitions in the world. The very essence of it is to ensure that curlers from Scotland and Canada have the opportunity to meet every five years on one side of the Atlantic or the other to further the friendship between curlers of the two countries and to uphold the traditions of ‘the roarin’ game’.
John Shedden is a member of the Athelstaneford and Yester Curling Clubs. He farms at East Garleton and had already proved himself in international curling on the RCCC Swiss Tour in 2009. He started curling 35 years ago, and went on to Scottish University Championships, and then to compete in the Swedish Cup and the Oslo Cup. He can often be identified on the ice by loud calls to his team-mates to sweep “Harder, harder.”!
Morgan Nicoll plays for the Haddington and Aberlady Clubs. He is an arable farmer, and a second-generation Strathcona Cup Tourist. His father Sandy went to Canada on the 1983 Tour, and was top Skip for a large part of the time until the Canadians figured they could gain an advantage over the Scots by adding ever more generous hospitality to the stresses of travelling long distances every day. This tour, Morgan played in the four-man team that set a new record for the competition of being beaten only five times in 31 games.
Dave Munro plays for the Haddington Club and also Currie and Balerno. He is a grain merchant, and is well known across south-east Scotland. This was his first official overseas curling tour, but he has a number of titles to his credit including a recent holder of the Elcho Trophy as Skip of the winning Haddington rink in the East Lothian Bonspiel. One of Dave’s strengths is that he is capable of playing in any position in a team, and is a great team-builder wherever he plays.
Self-employed Architect Graeme Maguire curls for several Clubs, principally Haddington and Aberlady. He was an international skier and grass skier, and competed in World and Europa Cup Championship events. Although a relative-newcomer to curling, Graeme has represented Scotland in the annual Four Nations Championship, and his appearance on the ice at Murrayfield in highly distinctive gear reflects his ‘can do – will do’ take on life.
There are more competitive curlers in Canada than in the rest of the world put together, and curling is a prime-time television sport. There was a chorus of appreciation from all four at the reception the Scots had encountered at every turn: a vehicle cavalcade into one city, elaborate banners showing a group of kilted warriors under the warning The Scottish are Coming, countless civic receptions each with their own identity and enthusiasm. One of the tour coach drivers, a Canadian, had been such a good friend to the Tourists that he was made an honorary Scot, and that’s how Jacques Gregoire became Jock MacGregor!
Alex King, President of East Lothian Province of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club, said: “This is the first time the Strathcona Cup Tour has included all ten Provinces in Canada. So the Scots Team covered the length and breadth of Canada from Halifax, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to Vancouver in the space of three weeks, travelled thousands of miles, played 31 games each, and made many new curling friends. We’re immensely proud of the whole Scottish Team, especially the East Lothian four – John, Morgan, Dave and Graeme for bringing the Strathcona Cup back to Scotland.”
Anyone who would like to go on the ice with a curling stone and brush for the first time should aim for the Come Try Curling session at Murrayfield Curling Rink on Saturday 23 February. For more information go to www.murrayfieldcurling.co.uk
Province Bonspiel 2012-2013
Posted on Monday, February 4, 2013 at 12:47pm
The latest name added to the Roll of Honour, which
goes back to 1859, is that of Athelstaneford who won this important
annual event with a team skipped by Robin Aitken.
Robin was well supported by Shaun Govan, Yvonne Aitken and Roy
Black, and took the title by dint of wins over Markle and Dirleton, and a
total shots up score of 14. Province President Alex King presented them
with the truly remarkable set of silverware of which the Elcho trophy
is centrepiece, together with bottles of whisky generously provided by W
N Lindsay Ltd.
Runners-up were the Haddington team skipped by Andrew McDiarmid
with Willie Kerr, Colin Baird and John Good. They were 4 shots up over
an East Linton team in the first round and 8 shots up in the second
against a Yester team.
Results in alphabetical order of Club showing shots up/down in first round, second round and net score:
Aberlady: +1 – 4 = – 3
Athelstaneford 1: +3 +4 = +7
Athelstaneford 2: +9 +5 = +14 Winners
Dirleton: +8 – 5 = +3
Doocot: – 4 – 2 = – 6
East Linton 1: – 3 -10 = – 13
East Linton 2: – 4 +2 = – 2

Support from the Provost

Message from East Lothian Provost, Ludovic Broun-Lindsay“On behalf of the Council and County of East Lothian I would like to offer my good wishes for a exciting and challenging Bonspiel. In 2009 East Lothian had the pleasure of welcoming Canadian curlers across in Scotland for the Strathcona cup. We held our welcome reception at a local whisky distillery which proved to be extremely popular!
Sport enables countries and individuals to not only compete but also to create and build lasting friendships. For more than 100 years curlers from Scotland and Canada have competed and enjoyed friendly rivalry. They have also had the pleasure of visiting foreign towns and cities and experiencing warm welcomes from their hosts. I hope that this sporting tradition continues for a further 100 years or more.”

E. L. Knock-out First Round
Posted on Monday, December 17, 2012 at 10:55am
The first round of our knockout competition resulted in some pre-christmas cheer, competitive games and some surprise results.The most fiercely fought game was between Haddington and Athelstaneford where Robin Aitkens team edged ahead to take the victory on the final end. Aberlady also eased through against Yester and Dirleton showed Markle very little Christmas charity. The surprise of the night was the game between East Linton and Doo’cot. It is seldom that a competition game sees an end of six but East Linton managed that in their sixth end. Unfortunately, that was the only end that they won and Doo’cot took a big scalp ending up the winners.
The semi-finals take place on the 11th and 13th of January. The draw has been updated here and the full results were:-
Aberlady 6 : Yester 3
East Linton 6 : Doo’cot 13
Dirleton 10 : Markle 4
Haddington 5 : Athelstaneford 7
East Lothian at the Four Nations
Posted on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 12:18pm
Scotland are hosts for the Four Nations Tournament to be played at Ayr Ice Rink on 19 and 20 January 2013. The tournament comprises of a series of individual competitions and last year Scotland’s men and women both beat the auld enemy, England while the Scottish Team beat Ireland but lost to Wales. So there is still some work to be done.Robin and Yvonne Aitken are together in a mixed rink, Robin skipping. Their first game is at 3 pm on Saturday 19th and is against one of the two Wales teams, and on the Sunday they play Ireland at 9 am.
John Good will play second in RCCC Vice
President Alan Durno’s rink. He’ll meet two England teams, the first at
12 noon on the Saturday and the second on the Sunday morning at 9
o’clock.
We wish all our Scotland curlers well, and
hope one or more of the trophies will be on display at an East Lothian
Province event before the end of this season.

The Four Nations Silverware
East Lothian keeps The Chanty
Posted on Friday, November 30, 2012 at 2:20pm
At Murrayfield on 28 November 2012, sixteen East Lothian curlers aimed for the Chanty and got it despite the best efforts of sixteen of the best Border Province curlers.The Beverley Bowl – widely known as The Chanty – was presented by Alastair Lindsay in 2004. Up to 2011, it had been won three times by Border and five times by East Lothian.
The teams and match results were:
| EAST LOTHIAN | BORDER | |
| Alex King – Skip | Glynnice Lauder – Skip | |
| Bob Makin; Jean Waddell; Colin Baird | Mike Frost; Elspeth Bell; Wendy Frost | |
| Scored 6 shots: won 4 ends | Scored 8 shots = 2 shots up: won 4 ends | |
| Robin Aitken – Skip | Andrew Reed – Skip | |
| Gale Pollitt; David Affleck; Alec Kerr | Judith Dixon; Andrew Dixon; Jo Scott | |
| Scored 5 shots: won 4 ends (1 was peeled) | Scored 8 shots = 3 shots up: won 3 ends | |
| Johnny Shedden – Skip | Maggie Wright – Skip | |
| Mike Wood; Tom Middlemass; Stan Howard | Brenda Robertson; Robert Laidlaw; Bob Robertson | |
| Scored 8 shots = 4 shots up: won 5 ends | Scored 4 shots: won 3 ends | |
| Morgan Nicoll – Skip | Helen Mathieson – Skip | |
| John Good; Robert Waddell; Ian Tulloch | Bob Mathieson; Colin Macnab; Sheila Macnab | |
| Scored 8 shots = 3 shots up: won 4 ends | Scored 5 shots: won 4 ends |
East Lothian’s shots up totalled seven to Border’s five, so by a very narrow margin the Chanty remains with East Lothian for another year.
The social part of the day was set going by East Lothian President Alex King, with contributions from around the room to end another thoroughly friendly annual encounter.
If all goes to plan, we’ll meet again at Kelso next year for a re-run.
John R Good
