Season 24/25 Fixtures and Updates

The new season is nearly upon us:-

Dates/ Times and Draws of all our Province competitions have now been added to the website along with details of 'other competitions' where the information is known.  Dates can be found above and draws can be found on the "Fixtures" tab.

Reminder that the Province would like to know the names of any players wishing to be included for the  Waldie Griffiths, The "Chanty" Borders Challenge, the Edinburgh Area Bonspiel and the Incoming Swiss Tour games.  Please contact Keith Anderson.

At Murrayfield there have been some minor changes to the looks of the club rooms, to reduce the noise levels.  Also this season the Bar and Catering will be provided by Embo Deli instead of Parsley and Thyme.  After 10 years, Paul was finding it difficult to obtain staffing for all his activities.

AGM - Dates (Confirmed)

Our AGM will be held at the Glen Golf Club on the 12th June 2024 at 19.30.

     

 

Waldie Griffiths

Unfortunately we were unable to retain our title.  Despite beating Angus Province 29 shots to 18 (+11) we were still some way behind the winning margin that our 'Auld Enemy' Border Province (+14) were against Breadalbane (The team that we defeated on our way to the title last season)

Knockout - Finals

Congratulations to all the teams that took part in the Knockout Competition.  ALL the games were close ones (except maybe the final).  Biggest congratulations of all go to our winners, Athelstaneford , Skipped by Johnny Shedden and assisted by Douglas Scott, Frank Ross and Roy Black.

Congratulations to the Dirleton Team of Calum Harvey, Shelagh Main, B Anderson and Graham Elder who took the Bonspiel title with an overall score of +7.  Runners up were Aberlady, two shots behind on +5

Dirleton have now won the Bonspiel on 15 occasions and now tie in second place with Athelstaneford for overall wins.

Province Knockout - Rnd 1

 Congratulations to Dirleton and Yester who progress to play each other in the Semi-Final on 18th Feb 2024.  The other Semi is between Aberlady and Athelstanefoord.

Province Pairs Results

The High Road was contested by Yester and East Linton with Yester running out the winners with a 7 - 2 victory. This is the first time that Yester have won the Pairs Trophy, although they have taken the Low Road but not since 2012/13.  This was a well deserved win for Walter Scott and Douglas Scott (who was also in the 12/13 team.

The Low Road saw Haddington defeating Athelstaneford 3 - 2 in a low scoring game.
