THE seniors were in action last Wednesday away at West Lothian, but remain second bottom of the league after losing 82-52.
However, the rink of Angus Tait, Jimmy Redpath, Hugh Clifton and Clark Chalmers had a good win. The gents had no game on Saturday, and next face Abbeyview on Saturday, November 10.
The ladies travelled to Bainfield and unfortunately were only able to raise three rinks instead of four.
As a result they started the match already eight shots adrift, but even with this handicap they ran their Edinburgh opponents close, losing 68-53.
They also had one rink finishing with a win, this being Jean Gammie, Jean Hinchliffe, Matty Smith and Jackie Ormiston.
The week did finish with good news for the seniors in the Fours Playdowns at West Lothian. With a bye into the first round, Danny McLean, Tom Thorburn, Clark Chalmers and Rob Fulton played against a rink from Abbeyview and won 20-18.
They will now meet a four from Falkirk at the same venue on Sunday, November 18.
