An Aberlady Record ?

The opening game of regular season saw 'probably' a new low for the club in its 165 year history !

It was the lowest average age of any game certainly in my memory, and Adam and Julia were not the reason!  Of the eight players on the ice were our three new U17 reserves who in their second outing seem to have the line and length of our main players.

Anyway the game itself was, after two ends, with a score of 7 - 0 against,  looking like it was going to be a long night for the Maguire squad.  It was however a game of two halves and helped with a 4 of their own in the sixth end, and a yell of "Game On" from their skip they entered the final end only 2 shots down.  The final end saw them with several stones distributed round the twelve foot.  The two teams then took it in turns to remove the stone nearest the button.  With the final shot of the match Team Mackey misjudged the swing of the ice  and left a two to peel the match 8 - 8.  It was a good game with several classy, and in my case occasionally lucky shots, that seemed to be enjoyed all round.  The injection of youth into our games seems to be bringing out the best of our 'older' members.
