Junior Challenge

Curl Aberdeen had 8 Juniors travel down to play in the Division 2 of the Junior Challenge at Murrayfield. Sadly Curl Aberdeen Juniors were relegated from this division, though it was a great experience for these young players and I'm sure they will bounce back. 

Perth Masters

We had a couple of members playing down in Perth (Tom Brewster and David Edwards) at this competition, also our own Jackie Lockhart was commentating for the games which were broadcast on BBC Alba. Watch all the games again via the link to BBC I-Player here.
