Morgan Nicoll, John Good, Lindsey Nicoll and Elinor Logan played a
Corstorphine team on 12 October 2014 in this competition. Corstorphine had
something of an advantage in respect of ice knowledge as their players were
Douglas Baxter, Colin Campbell and Aaron Forsythe, all Murrayfield Curling
icemen, ably complimented by Dan Arrondale.
Sadly, our team were outclassed and outplayed by four men curling well as
individuals and as a team. The game may best be summed up by saying that
Haddington had to wait till the seventh end to take a shot, by which time
Corstorphine was well out of sight with ten on the board.
Those in our Club who in the past have played and won at this level and
gone on to the National final know that the standard is high. With the strength
there is in Haddington, we can do better, so let's look forward to doing that in
2015. Surely by that time, Morgan will have got rid of the head cold that meant
he was a bit short of his best this year!
John Good.
Now we move on with our next 'outside' competition - The Balyarrow on Sunday 19th October.
