Middle Bisquers 2021
12-13 June 2021, Balgreen
With only 9 players available for this event at Balgreen it was agreed that the format would be seeded cross-blocks with a block of 5 and a block of 4. The two best players would then play a final (even if they had already played one another).
Block A:- George Plant, Rosemary Saunders Robertson, Calum Worsley, Roger Binks and Kevin Wright
Block B:- John Owen, Alan Wilson, Bill Strachan, John Campbell
With the odd number of players one player in Block A had a bye in each round.
The weather was mainly dry but windy with Sunday quite sunny. The courts were reasonably fast with newly set hoops causing some problems for players.
After Saturday the leaders were John on 3/3, George 2/2, Rosemary 2/2 and Alan 2/3. The first round on Sunday saw John beat Rosemary and Alan beat George in the turn when time was called.
Lorna Dewar won the 2021 Scottish Masters beating James Hopgood in the final. Lorna completed her first tournament triple on the Saturday and went on to beat an in-form Alastair Burn-Murdoch in the semis, before rounding off an excellent weekend for her by taking the trophy from multiple Masters winner James. The crowd were slowly freezing on a sunny but cold weekend in early May but were kept entertained by Alastair Burn-Murdoch’s peeling efforts on lawn 3 in the Z: Alan Wilson had hit the sextuple leave but ABM managed 4 peels of the quin before breaking down at rover.
