Wingate Conclusion & Records

The final game of the Wingate was between Team Pate and Team McDiarmid.  Team Pate were firing on
were fighting for their survival in the Wingate, while Team McDiarmid required a peel to take the title.  Only one of them could come away happy.

Team Pate were firing on all cylinders while our Vice President was possibly showing fatigue after a long season.  The game eventually went to Team Pate with a 7 - 4 score line, which mean that they will feature in next years Wingate while the McDiarmid crew lick their wounds and lose out on the title to the Sandy Nicoll squad by a single point.  That point was obtained by a peel way back in the first game of the season on 9th October.

Sandy is the seventh player to back up a Rennie win (and achieve promotion) with a win in the 'big league' as a 'rookie'.

Congratulations therefore to Sandy Nicoll, Graeme Maguire , Richard Taylor and Heather Harpur.

They will go on to contest the Skins on 20th March against Team Morgan, the winners of the Rennie.

For factual correctness, this is the first time that there has been a Father/Son lock out in our leagues.  There have previously been Father/daughter and Brother/sister as well as Husband/wife lockouts (can you name them?)
