Waldie Griffiths

East Lothian were pitched against Lanarkshire in their Waldie tie.  This was always going to be a tough match with two strong Provinces.  The net result was going to be that neither team would win by enough to make taking the cup a possibility.  This did indeed prove to be the case.
Of the four EL Teams, we achieved one very good win, two extremely close games and unfortunately one big loss.  The overall aggregates saw EL slip to a two shot defeat over the four games.
I am pleased to report that all the games (that I could see from my rink) seemed to have been conducted in good humour which was continued in the bar and at the meal.
We may not have won the cup this year but the brother (and sister) hood of curling was again the winner.
