Team Ewan performed a ‘curling masterclass’ to win the 2020 Scottish Wheelchair Curling Association British Open at Lanarkshire Ice Rink last week.
The competition took place at the Hamilton ice rink from Sunday to Tuesday, February 9 to 11.
Team Ewan, consisting of Gregor Ewan, Jim Gault, Ian Donaldson, Gill Keith and James Sellar, entered the competition as favourites and went through the round robin group stage unbeaten, before playing Team Germany in the 1st v 2nd final to decide the title.
In a close final, Team Ewan held the upper hand throughout the early stages, with Team Germany closing to within a
couple of shots at the final end, winning by 7-5.
David Hogg from Scottish Wheelchair Curling Association said: “Our thanks go to Lanarkshire Ice Rink for allowing us to use their facilities, and thanks to the ice staff, umpire Harry Brodie and all the catering staff as well as our army of volunteers.”
Their next competition is the Scottish Championships at The Peak, Stirling, from Tuesday to Thursday, March 17 to 19.
