Basil Townsend Quaich 2018
22 July 2018, Auchincruive
Glasgow, represented by Richard Sparrow, won the 2018 BTQ. On a dry, if not sunny day, four teams competed for the trophy: Auchincruive (Kevin Wright), Balgreen (Roger Binks), Glasgow (Richard Sparrow), and Meadows (Lorna Dewar). Three rounds of 18-point games were played with 2¼ hour time limits. Going into the last round, Richard managed to survive a late surge by Lorna to make it three wins out of three and win the trophy.
Meadows Open 2018
14-15 July 2018, Meadows
Neither the World Cup nor the Wimbledon finals stopped the Meadows AC Open from having a full entry list, with 13 competitors taking part. The boundary lines had been freshly painted by Jola and Jamieson and the lawns were in good shape thanks to the efforts or Danny the gardener, and George Plant and the Green Team. The sprinkler system had been in use over the gloriously dry and sunny summer meaning that the lawns, although not slow, did not rival the dusty brown ice-rink pace of Balgreen. A little light drizzle on the Friday also helped ease the ground a little, making hoop moving easier.
