All 3 remaining Murrayfield  teams went out of the Handicap Cup at the 2nd round stage at  North Merchiston.

Team 8 (Chris Markey, Hamish Barrie and William Skinner) and team 5 (Alex Asounkin, Howard Beck and Roger Thomas) both lost in disappointingly one-sided matches.  

Team 6 (Ian Robertson 0/3, Rowan Campbell 1/2 and Charlie Ellis 2/3) were pretty close to going through,  losing an entertaining contest 5-3 to a useful Edinburgh International side led by Simon Fu. Ian losing (primarily because of a few wayward smashes) to Simon in a desperately close match that would-had Ian won it- have leveled the match at 4-4.

On Sunday 6th Dec 2009 Carsten Giebeler won the Mike MacLaren Quaiche at the Edinburgh Championships in Tranent.

Mike MacLaran Quaiche was donated by the Murrayfield Memorial Club in memory of Mike MacLaren who did a lot of work for the club, its good to see it back in Murrayfield hands once more.

You can still enter the Edinburgh Championships, draw will be done on Tuesday at Murrayfeild, so get your entry in by then, email me if you like.

The competition is divided into divisional events and age categories, something for everyone. The club does very well normally at this event. Lets hope for this year, so please enter.
