On Saturday 30th January a challenge match took place between Glasgow and Dunbartonshire Provices at Braehead. It was a tight match with Dunbartonshire taking the trophy in its inaugural year 66 shots to 65 - but only after 1 Dunbartonshire rink had been penalised 34 shots for turning up 34 minutes late!
Of the 8 games Dunbartonshire won 7! Pollok Curling Club was represented by Gordon McQuilkin and Andy Whyte. Alan Sloan was also playing but representing XX Club. The winning Glasgow rink comprised myself and 3 ladies. A lesson for us all perhaps.
It was a very enjoyable afternoon's curling and I understand that this challenge match will be played annually from now on.
