With the per-christmas resurgence of our Young Teams there was a great deal of optimism on display, especially on our 'social media' feed. (Doesn't that sound modern!). The two young teams leading the Rennie League and Sandy leading the Wingate League was obviously a concern to the 'Oldies' who managed to muster two strong teams for the grudge challenge.
The final results show one game to each side. In the first game Team Nicoll (Sandy) took on Team Munro (Dave). Dave started strongly taking a 4 in the second end, unfortunately he was only able to squeeze another single end to finish the night with a score of 5. Cunning play by Dave and his boys (men) ensured that Sandy was restricted to low scoring ends himself and the Oldies entered the final end 5 - 4 leaders. Sandy, aided by Lorna Nicoll, Ali Harvey and Becky Culverwell stepped up their game (maybe they were getting hungry) and stole a 3 to run out winners 7 - 5 and giving first blood to the 'Young' side.
Meanwhile Team Pate (James) took on Team Lindsey. It would appear that this team of 'Oldies' had pent up aggression to work out. Not only did this game manage eight ends (cf. six ends in the other game) but James Pate, James Logan, Shelagh Main/Elinor Logan and Ian Donald, kept their concentration and consistently scored good ends. The final score was 13 - 5.
The aggregate score shows a win of 18 - 12 for the Old.
This completes the hat trick with the Old winning for the third year in a row. The last Junior win was in 2013/2014.
In a return to an old tradition, the players then moved on to enjoy a Chinese meal in Edinburgh.
