After our game in November at Ayr, which Penicuik lost heavily, we played a return match at Murrayfield on Sunday 19th February.

This time Ian Robertson, who originally challenged us but was unable to play at Ayr, turned out for Land O’Burns. Jim Ramsay was unable to play this time but Trader Geoff Dawe took his place.
Dave Anderson’s team, with Liz Anderson, Geoff Dawe and Pam Ramsay played a steady game of one’s and twos to end up with a good 6-2 win.

Dave Carr’s team, with David Gillespie, Margaret Carr and Reg Dunbar had a tighter game. Several promising ends were turned round by excellent angled raises and take outs by Land O’Burns skip David Balmer. Penicuik rallied and it was 4-4 after 6 ends. But, Land O’Burns had hammer in the last end, and David B played an excellent draw to win the game 5-4.

So, it ended one game each but Penicuik were 8-6 up on ends and 10-7 on shots.
A partial revenge for our heavy defeat in Ayr.
The game was followed by soup and sandwiches upstairs with very good company.
The 2 matches were enjoyed by all who took part and it was agreed to try and have a rematch next season.
