New Season U-17 Slam

The first competition in next season's Under-17 Slam is tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday at the Dewar's Centre in Perth. I am heartened to see that there are twenty-six teams in the draw, five sections of four and one of six! First games are tomorrow at 09.00. The teams play for a trophy in memory of the former manager of the Dewar's Centre, Danny Fitzsimons, and of course accumulate points towards the Slam title.

The Baljaffray

I've not been able to be at Greenacres for the U-17 event there this weekend, for the Baljaffray trophy. Hugh Stewart was on hand to take a few photos to give just a flavour of the event. He concentrated on one game, the Thomas Sloan team against Gina Aitken's side. Thomas of course is through here in Edinburgh competing in the Edinburgh International with Glen Muirhead. So his team lined up as Cammy Smith (sub, at lead), Thomas Muirhead (second), Kyle Smith (third) and Scott Fraser (skip). The Aitken Team was Rachael Halliday (lead), Katy Richardson (second), Gina Aitken (third) and Mhairi Baird (skip).

All the scores are here.
