FRIENDLY MATCHES
Unfortunately this year we didn’t have any outright wins.
We were extremely lucky with our match against Alyth as it was a lovely
day there while it poured with rain in Perth. We gave it our best effort but
were beaten 2 & 1. Our match against
Perth Ladies was a fun match with mixed teams and agreed a draw due to a misunderstanding
of the rules! It was our turn for Strathmore to come to us, but due to Strathmore
ladies having difficulty moving their gear over the railway bridge we agreed to
go to them. All future matches against Strathmore will be played away and we will
pay for our own food.
Craigie Hill – well what can I say?
Our 2 teams were both beaten on the 13th. Dates for training
days for the return match on home soil to be announced later, possibly a talk
from a sports psychologist… 2020 is going to be the year to take that Craigisle
Trophy back!
HANDICAP LEAGUE
I’m pleased to report that we ended up with a better result this year
than last – with our final placement in Section A 3rd out of 5. Kinross were the overall Handicap League trophy winners 2019.
We got off to a great start with a convincing win at home against
Blairgowrie. The next 2 matches were draws – away at Murrayshall and home
to Alyth. Unfortunately we only won one
game out of 5 in our final match against Muckhart, although this was partly due
to not being able to send a full team. It was late by the time we completed the
18th and so dark we could hardly see our way!
The new draw has been done for next year’s teams with King Jimmy playing
Blairgowrie and Murrayshall again and also Auchterarder and Crieff. The dates selected are earlier in the season
than this year so hopefully your diaries should not be so full. Please be aware
that rescheduling matches due to not having a full team will not be allowed
under the rules – so please put the dates in your diaries when they are
confirmed at the start of 2020.
Thanks again to all the ladies who took part in these matches this
year. Thanks also to Paul for the food for our Friendly home match.
