It was a chilly day in Fochabers with a good standard of playing in seniors and juniors, writes Jack Taylor. Of the nine adults three were returning to competition after a break. All played strongly, with Colin Gordon, librarian at Skye’s Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, being overall champion, and Brad Davidson from Canada, after 24 years not playing, winning three prizes.
