In my final post of the season I'm delighted to announce the Aberdeen 2 team comprising Katrina Beaton, Morag Forrest, Mark Coutts and Charlie Miller finished runners up in the 'A' Division of the Province League after the double round robin.

Charlie said "I was exceptionally pleased with the team attitude, skill and performance and was delighted to record wins over the three AWW teams represented and double wins over Haddo, Bank of Scotland and Northern Lights. We hope to continue as a team in the Province next year representing Aberdeen Curling Club in this event."
