Gents’ nominated triples won this year by Guy Llloyd Jones, John Wright & Stephen Fox. Our SESBA Senior Champions of Derek Nelson, Neil Gauld and Brian Gray could not quite emulate that success this time despite winning the most ends 8 to 7.

Both Two Bowls Finals were very close contests. Linda Scotland overcame Soosan Danesh to win Ladies’ and Neil Gauld was successful against Jim Moffat in the Mens’. In the Mens’ final, there were so many “touchers”( mostly by JIm) that the marker nearly ran out of chalk.

Liz Moffat and Sandra Laidlaw won the September Quaich beating Carol Wilson and Soosan Danesh in a close final. Sandra is obviously a Pairs Specialist, since this is her fourth pairs trophy of the season.

On 19th September, as part of our continued links with the Eric Liddell Community, we hosted a group on our Green. We received the following thank you from Valeria Lembo, Dementia Service Co-ordinator “Massive thank you from me and our group. We had a lot of fun with great positive feedback about how much fun they had and they joy of feeling physically active, moving, bending and getting excited about the game.”

Soosan Danesh & Malcolm Weir won the Nominated Mixed Pairs with Lyn Blackhall & Derek Nelson as runners-up.

Meanwhile, Lyn Blackhall partnering Sandra Laidlaw had more success in the Ladies Pairs beating Maggie Clapperton & Liz Moffat in the final. Their second Pairs Title of the season

Rounding up our Pairs Competitions for the year, John Cameron & Ross Maguire won the Gents’ Nominated Pairs adding to the Drawn Senior Pairs Title they won earlier.

Soosan Danesh won both the Ladies Handicap Tray and the Points/ Adamson Trophy with Lyn Blackhall as runner -up on both occasions
