DISAPPOINTMENT AT 4 NATIONS WEEKEND

Filed under: Competitions — johnb at 11:03 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2008

It was a disappointing 4 Nations weekend for England when they failed to win any of the 4 trophies for which they were competing. The full results can be found here: 4 Nations Results 2008

The competition was played at Greenacres Curling Club in Scotland and was organised by the Welsh Curling Association who also introduced a wheelchair competition. Unfortunately niether Ireland nor England were able to field a wheelchair team and so Scotland and Wales played out a series of friendly games.

This was the first time that the 4 Nations had been played at Greenacres and the teams were given a warm welcome and partook of a very good carvery on the Saturday evening followed by a friendly quiz.
