Our first competition of the year, the 2-4-2 pairs was played on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th April. The good weather held throughout, with section winners Marion Donald and Ian Forman, Allan McBain and Myra Sutherland, and Phil Moir and John McGregor joined by best runners-up Sheena McBain and Phil Ward in Friday’s semi-finals. Allan and Myra managed to get the better of Phil M and John to meet up with Phil W. and Sheena in the final.

The final was very close, with the teams tied going into the final end. Sheena managed to draw a close shot early on, which was never beaten, and hence Phil W. and Sheena bagged the first of 2018’s silverware.
