Hamilton Trophy - Stewartry home to Glasgow
Jun 24th, 2013 by admin
Stewartry played host to Glasgow East at Castle Douglas on Saturday in the final match of the season, which also happened to be the wooden spoon decider. Glasgow had not won any of their first six games, and Stewartry had been successful only against Wigtownshire so far. Glasgow took the early initiative, but Stewartry battled back and showed their fighting spirit in a match that mattered only for pride, and went on to win by 128 - 109.
A Davies 13 - 25 G MacDougall
S Richardson 28 - 16 J Wardle
B McClune 28 - 11 W Charters
S Davies 14 - 28 W Campbell
S McCubbin 19 - 19 S Whitelaw
G Maxwell 26 - 10 B Bowers
Stewartry have certainly not had their best season in the Cities and Countes Championship however the nucleus of the team remains strong, and with the addition of a number of players the County side can compete with the bigger counties such as Lanarkshire and Ayrshire. Team manager Hugh Robertson is looking for an early commitment from players for next year’s competition so that the County can put out the strongest team available. 2014 is the Stewartry’s 75th anniversary and a successful County team would be a fantastic boost to the anniversary celebrations!
