Dinner & Prize Giving

Following confusion (by me) and conflicting information.  I confirm that the Dinner & Prize Giving will be:- 

FRIDAY 4th APRIL, 2025

7 for 7.30pm

OPEN ARMS HOTEL, Dirleton

Rennie @ 66%

 With two rounds completed and one to go, the Rennie is tightening up.  The two teams that had been leading the way, Team Karen and Team Ian, are both still up at the sharp end but there is now clear water between them. Their last two games both resulted in defeats.  Currently, Team Karen is in the lead by two points while Team Morgan has now rallied and is in second position but only two ends ahead of Ian Donald's squad.  Despite managing to double their seasons wins, the Munro Snr Rink trails by a further two points.

With three games to play (each) all of the teams are within two wins of the lead, so mathematically, anyone could still win.

EL Province KO

The first round of the Knockout produced a couple of surprises and see Aberlady and East Linton as the winners who will go forward to play each other in the Semi Final on 16th Feb at 3pm.  There they will join Yester and Dirleton who got byes and will play in the other Semi.  The Final will be played straight after at 5.15pm.

Haddington v East Linton was a close match but East Linton were largely in control over a very good (on paper if not on the day) Haddington side.

Meanwhile the very experienced Athelstaneford side, who played aggressively were beaten by a much younger and laid back team from Aberlady.

Good luck to the surviving four teams.

Congratulations to the 'younger members' of our club, particularly Sandy Nicoll, Euan Forbes, Hamish
Logan and Lindsey McConnell for reclaiming the Young v Old Title.  The last time that the Youngsters won this was over ten years ago, in Season 13/14, when the team was Lorna Nicoll, Karen Munro, Lorna Shaw and Angus Elder.

As you may have gathered from the title, this turned out to be a long and one sided game for the 'Oldies' who managed to win zero ends although they did find a lot of inventive ways of getting in for second shot. All credit must go to the winners who all played very steady and high class shots throughout and always had their opposition chasing !
