Hamilton A wins Richardson Cup……
Congratulations to the Hamilton A team, which was successful in regaining the Richardson Cup, defeating a strong Wandering Dragons team 5.5-2.5.
Entering into an early strong position with wins on Boards 3, 5 and 6, a share of the bottom two Boards meant that Hamilton only needed half a point from the remaining 3 Boards to win the match. A draw for Pat Coffey on Board 4 guaranteed a win for Hamilton before the top two Boards entered into the final hour’s Quickplay. Both remaining matches went the distance with Andy Muir losing out against Alan Tate, but Steve Burns-Mannion winning with seconds to spare against Mark Orr.

… and Hamilton B wins Jack Campbell Rosebowl
Having narrowly lost to Troon in the semi final of the Spens Cup, the B team faced Civil Service in the final of the Jack Campbell Rosebowl.
Gaining an early advantage with Matthew O’Donnell’s success against Simon Bate on Board 2, the team maintained momentum throughout the match, taking additional points at regular intervals. Team Captain Robert Montgomery gained the vital point to take an unassaliable 3.5 – 0.5 lead before Arthur Mulholland and Duncan Walker closed out their games for an impressive 5.5 – 0.5 final score.
