Our senior boys’ team has qualified for the Scottish Schools’ Curling Championship finals for the third consecutive year. This year the finals will be played at the Murrayfield Ice Rink in Edinburgh on March 17th and 18th. Arbroath HS will be hoping to defend the title they won for the first time ever in 2011.
The final qualifying competition was tense, given that the Arbroath team was short of two regular team members for the final day of matches. However the first-time combination of Rory Dowell, Marc Anderson, Ben Bremner and Craig Cameron held on to Arbroath’s strong early position and the team qualified in second place, behind Webster’s HS but ahead of teams from Forfar Academy, Brechin HS and Monifieth HS. The teams from Webster’s and Forfar will join the boys from Arbroath in the national finals next month, where regular players Robert Fawns and Thomas Halder will rejoin the squad. We wish them all the best for the finals.
