Our semi final against Corstorphine was a tight edgy game. Just at the point where it looked like it was slipping away, Morgan came in with a big 5 shot end. With that in the bank Andy McD on the other sheet, played his last end safely to lose by a narrow margin to see Haddington progress on aggregate score to the final.
The final was against the defending champions, Oxenfoord. Morgan knowing the Oxenfoord men well elected to blank ends two and three but was only able to take a single with his next end. Meanwhile, Mr McD was also keeping his game tight. Things progressed well until the fifth end where the wheels seemed to come off both our teams and eventually allowed Oxenfoord to win back to back titles .
With it being over 40 years since we last won the Swan, we need to get our act together next year, but another defeat in the Final, against strong opposition should be commended.
