Fresh from his recent defeat in the Rennie, Willie Kerr led his team of James Pate, Rowena Kerr and Graeme Maguire in to their first round match against Gogar Park. This was always going to be a tricky first round game and Willie decided to skip and play lead stones.Both teams were had opportunities to build big ends but neither managed to capitalise. After the first couple of ends, with Gogar leading 2 shots to one, singles were traded following a pattern of Haddington scoring to draw level and then Gogar moving ahead by a single shot again.
They do say that you only have to lead a game at one point and indeed at one shot down and sitting with a single, James had a draw for a two and the match. He obviously didn't fancy having to draw the shot to decide the match and made sure that his last stone counted. Haddington scored their first 2 shot end of the day to take the game.
Next up, The Barbarians on 17th November.............
