Points 2016

As predicted last year Lindsey Nicoll was the player to beat, not just in the Ladies but she also captured the Overall too, humbling some of our finest, including her brother and father.  Lindsey if only the second Lady to take the Overall having been beaten to that particular record by Kath Dun in 2010.

Lindsey amassed 37 points from 9 routines and took her win by a margin of four clear points from Vice President James Logan and Andy Aberdein who shared second place on 33.

Fourth place with 29 points went to Sandy Nicoll who was well below his usual score due, perhaps, to him playing for the first time with new shoes! Father Morgan had no such excuse for scoring one less than Sandy and could only secure third place in the Nicoll family.

With a slightly smaller field than usual, the pace of play was fast, with nine exercises completed. Due to the absence of the defending champion, President John, elected to play first and had a dismal start and couldn't get it together again, finishing with what he claimed was his second-ever poorest Points score of only 20  (Editors correction - Lowest Haddington score since 2010 John !).

Although the scoring wasn't high, six players had full scores in one or more exercises.

As always, it was a sociable and competitive competition which rewarded the better players and reminded the rest that they had a way to go to match or beat the best.
