Round 2:

For Edinburgh 1 and 3, the day was not over yet, with another match to play before the hearty North West Castle dinner and a trip to  The Arkhouse and Bar Pazz, the legendary bastions of Stranraer’s nightlife. With such delights in mind, Edinburgh 1 took on Aberdeen, leading to an 8-5 loss; and Edinburgh 3 took on Strathclyde 3, again suffering a loss, losing 8-7.

The next day Edinburgh 2 and 4 were fresh faced and their stomachs lined with a hefty Castle Grill, ready to face Robert Gordon University (RGU) and Aberdeen respectively. Edinburgh 2 drew 8-8, and Edinburgh 4 lost 10-4.
