This competition is usually played in early February and is one of the major open competitions of the year.

2012 competition was played on 1st - 3rd February.

The BIRC decided to hold the competition over three evenings and include a low road into competition.   After the first game the winners went to the high road and losers to the low road.
When the committee saw the entries grow they thought a little push would get the entry to 16 teams, and Harry phoned the successful junior team skipped by Cameron Bryce to come into the competition and within half an hour the reply was yes to make up the 16.

The two finals on the Friday night were close events until the 6th end in both cases as you can see from the cards below:

Harry Dodds, President of BIR Club presided over the presentation,

Thanks were extended to Jim Cullen of Cullen Kilshaw for their kind sponsorship of Ice and prizes and the directors for free ice for the finals.

Harry thanked Cameron Bryce for standing in and praised the young team for their excellent performance in getting to the semi-finals.   Harry also commented that it was good to see Colin Baxter back at the Directors, having first won the competition in the 1976/7 season and his hair still looks the same today.
Two lady directors in the form of June Swan and Margaret Roberton presented the prizes to the winners.

The common link between all the presentation party is that they were all put out of the competition by the young Team Bryce and Harry commented "They make us look auld"

It was decided on the night to run next years competition on the same lines, but there will be two games on the same night on the first round to suit distant teams.
