Musselburgh Old dug deep this week in what was a crucial match for them in both league and Cup. Their match with Kilspindie (with rivals Royal Musselburgh not in action) represented a chance to move to the top of the league table, but as an added incentive this was also a Cup tie with a place in the quarter final at Gullane at stake.
And as it proved, the Old Course team were up to the task, with Ross Noon and Kieran Blyth leading the way with a 5/4 win at the top. But back came Kilspindie, with a 17th green win for Graeme White & Davie Watters. But by that time the Old Course team had secured a second point when Nathan Free & Colin Whoriskey won on the 14th.
Then it all became quite tense with the two remaining ties much closer. Kilspindie levelled when Martin Hay & Derek Thomson won on the 17th, but Musselburgh Old won the crucial deciding tie when David Reid & Graham Lovie prevailed, also on the 17th.
