Red Group   Blairgowrie (B), Crieff, Kinross, Muckhart and STRATHMORE

Sunday June 10th     FREE WEEK
Sunday July 1st        Kinross v STRATHMORE
Sunday July 15th      STRATHMORE v Muckhart
Sunday August 5th   Crieff v STRATHMORE
Sunday August 19th STRATHMORE v Blairgowrie (B)

Our first match is away at Kinross who we beat 4v1 in last years semi final at Auchterarder. Two weeks later we seek revenge against Muckhart for a 2v3 away defeat in 2009. Our third match is away to another of last years defeated semi finalist Crieff and our final match is at home against Blairgowrie (B).

With the squad of players we have available I am confident we can again progress to the knock-out stages of the competition and I'm sure the team would love to return to Gleneagles for the final on the 23rd of September.

The two teams must exchange order of team selection showing the current handicap prior to play commencing. Any default in the order will result in the loss of the game or games in which the default occurs.
6…For the first round ONLY, teams will play on a home and away basis with the result being decided on aggregate scores, thereafter (second round onwards) it will be straight knockout. If the aggregate scores are tied (first round only) “Sudden Death” will take place between the two No. 1 players. The Final will be played at Gleneagles.
