SATTC B’s season came to a close on May 6th with a 4:5 defeat away to Kilwinning B. No matter the result, both teams would be safe from potential play-offs pending league reconstruction next season. Roy Claxton maintained his 100% record despite good performances from Kilwinning’s Billy Paterson and Dougie Gillespie, each taking an end off the South Ayrshire no 1. Paul Morris had to dig deep with all his matches going to 5 ends. Despite being 10-6 up in the 5th against Dougie, the 72 year old lost out 12-10. At 5:3 to Kilwinning it was down to Paul to get the vital 4th point that would keep us 1 place above our Ayrshire rivals. With Billy playing well having easily despatched Gary 3:0 he was the firm favourite, however Paul conquered his fatigue to grind out a great victory.
Well done all the team! It’s been a tough 1st season in D1 with the experienced players doing a good job to keep us safe and the new players improving their game by playing at this higher level.
