Eight of our boys and girls (twelve, if you include our non-playing supporters, Colin B, Sandy, Hamish and Elinor) shook off their new year celebrations to take on the might of Currie & Balerno in the Swan Trophy semi-final on the fourth of January. The conclusion resulted in a shock to both clubs.
James L, Andy McD, Graeme and John Good after a poor start played well to finish with only a one shot loss, meanwhile James P, Morgan, Shelagh and Andy A got off to a flyer and kept a commanding lead throughout.
The prize for this win was a brief rest then back on for the final against Corstorphine.
The final was an entirely different story with both teams getting off to a poor start with the combined score of 10 to 0 before James L got his weight and managed to shove granny on to the bus. Unfortunately, this was not the start of a big come back with both teams recording a loss and hand shakes after six ends.
Reaching the final was still an achievement but still leaves us without a win in the Swan since 1964.
There is always next year !
