Drystanes entered three teams in the Indoor Grand Match played throughout Scotland on Saturday 24th October. Clarke Perry, John Fingland, Stuart Biggart & Dhruva Prakash visited Stranraer where they beat Dollar Ladies 7-6. Colin Semple, Malcolm Gauld, Steven Harte & Bill Chalmers visited Lockerbie where they were beaten 6-8 by Denny 2. Malcolm was very disappointed to not win the fancy dress prize. Craig Thomson, Jim Naismith & Colin Keir went to Greenacres where they were joined by Carol Lawrence, a last-minute substitute from Braehead Virtual Club. Colin tells me that Carol fitted in very well, perhaps a harbinger of things to come? They played against Millport 2 and beat them 10-6 – all down to one shot from Craig when he went for and made a tricky 5 rather than settle for a safe single.
All participants thoroughly enjoyed the event, being well fed & watered, photographed, piped onto the ice, stacked brooms etc.
