The ice has been busy at the Lockerbie rink this weekend. Even though some of the top junior men's teams were unavailable, competing in the Bruadar Scottish Men's Championship qualifiers, eight teams took part in one section, playing five games drawn at random. No fewer than twelve junior women's teams competed in two sections! That is a good turnout.I'll have the results tomorrow. Meantime, here are a few photos of the action today.
