Knockout - Round 1

The first round of the Knockout produced a couple of surprises and see Aberlady and East Linton as the winners who will go forward to play each other in the Semi Final on 16th Feb at 3pm.  There they will join Yester and Dirleton who got byes and will play in the other Semi.  The Final will be played straight after at 5.15pm.

Haddington v East Linton was a close match but East Linton were largely in control over a very good (on paper if not on the day) Haddington side.

Meanwhile the very experienced Athelstaneford side, who played aggressively were beaten by a much younger and laid back team from Aberlady.

Good luck to the surviving four teams.

Province Pairs

Congratulations to the Athelstaneford Team who continue their dominance of this event having won the High Road 5 times in the last 9 years !  This years team came up against Aberlady's David Wyllie and David McKay for the second time in the afternoon, having peeled with them in the qualifying games.  Experience showed in the final and Johnny Shedden and Frank Ross eased out 3 - 1 winners.

In the Low Road, the final was contested by East Linton's Robin Aitken and Paul Neilson and Haddington's Andy MacDiarmid and Hamish Logan.  Haddington managed to snatch a 2 in the final end and ran out 3 - 2 winners to Retain the Low Road.

The Gauntlet Challenge

In the inaugural Gauntlet Challenge, Athelstaneford challenged Aberlady.  It was a fun and informal game with lots of laughs and the Aberlady team of  Julia Mackey, John McOmish, John Good and Gavin Morton ran out the winners.

It is now up to us Aberlady to challenge another East Lothian club within the next four weeks.

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.

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)
