In the Cup Craigielaw were the visitors at Gifford, and proved a little too strong for their opponents. Kenny Glen & Mark Hays had to go the distance at the top of the order, and Guy Dalziel & Dave Nicholson were taken to the 17th, but both visiting pairs secured their wins. There was brief respite for the hosts when Blair Shearer and Gavin Kynoch recorded a last green win for Gifford, but by that time the visitors had claimed the final two ties as well – both on the 15th green.
The win means Craigielaw progress to a home quarter final against Haddington. That match won’t take place until March though, by which time Craigielaw will be firmly focussed on retaining the Cup they won in March of this year.
