There was a really good turn-out again and this year the ladies dominated, thus winning the trophy. The most successful ladies team were Jeanette O’Neill, Lone Kallqvist and Janet McCrae, and for the gents, Steffen Dahlmann, Mark Johnson and Keith Moore/ John Tilley. After the prize giving, everyone enjoyed a barbecue cooked by Linus Muirhead, ably assisted by his wife Amanda. It was good to see everyone coming together and enjoying not only the game but the social occasion.
