LADIES VS SENIOR GENTS

The Senior Gentlemen retain the Columbine Trophy
At last the sun shone on the first match of the season for the ladies. Their opponents were the senior gentlemen and they were all competing for the Columbine Trophy for the 23rd year. Expectations were high in this closely fought contest. Margaret Hunter, the Lady Captain led the ladies' team and kindly organised the presentation of 125th Anniversary ball markers from all the ladies to all the gents. Her husband Graeme captained the men. After an enjoyable meal provided by Paul and Jane, we waited to hear with bated breath for the announcement of the results. Margaret informed us all that it had been a closely fought event, but alas the men had won seven games to five and she then presented Graeme with the Columbine Trophy. It was a great day and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thanks go to Graeme Hunter for hosting the day and also to Ian MacPherson for organising everything behind the scenes
