In the absence of any scord cards or game reports from members it falls on me to report on the Maxwell Trophy game at Murrayfield yesterday. I skipped one of the rinks with Bill Thomson & George Christie skipping the other two. we were up against three strong home teams with well known curlers such as Colin Hamilton, Trevor Dodds and Ian Baxter amongst the opposition.

On swinging ice where you could get hidden if your weight was just right we managed two wins and one loss. Both George & my rink managed to notch up fine wins and Bill only missing out over the last couple of ends after a very tight game against Colin H.

After the game we were treated to an excellent meal with fine home baking, a few drams and a few stories. Just what the Maxwell Trophy is all about.

Next up are Kelso away and Hamilton at home. With Hamilton having already beaten Murrayfield it looks like it is heading towards a head to head against Hamilton yet again.

Please try and send me results of games and comments to my e-mail address (mike@ferguson-oliver.co.uk) in order that we can keep this blog up to date and interesting.

P.S. The picture is of a very scary looking Trevor Dodds.
