WINTER LEAGUE FRIENDLY v CRAIL - 4th February 2024

There has never been a truer saying as “3rd Time Lucky”!  Our two previous attempts to play this fixture were thwarted by named storms, snow, ice and flooding so it was with much relief that 12 ladies (6 from each club) were able to play on Lansdowne.

The weather was kind to us with only a little drizzle at the beginning of our round before the sun peeked out from behind the clouds to warm us up, resulting in a few layers of clothing being removed - a far cry from some of our recent stormy conditions!

The games were keenly contested, played in a friendly atmosphere, and fun was had by all.  A light meal of delicious soup and sandwiches was enjoyed by everyone before the results were announced.

Blairgowrie ladies won all of their matches (3&1, 4&3, 4&3).  I am very grateful to everyone for being so flexible with the rescheduling of dates and to Marion Kay who very kindly stepped in to play at very short notice.  Congratulations to the winning ladies: Anne Farquharson, Marion Kay, Maggie Marshall (team captain), Eileen Brown, Meriel Walker with myself, and to Maggie for the match report and team photos.
