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 !
