2018 Highland Team event
On Saturday 29th September 2018 Black Isle Leisure Centre hosted the 2nd Highland Restricted Team Event. There were 6 teams competing for the coveted title: Culloden (last years’ winners), Nairn, Inverness Royal Si2B, Highland Squad, Lochcarron Warriers & Tarzans All Starts (Lochcarron).
The format was 6 rubbers in a team match in a round robin (5 team matches per team)– winner takes all with runner-up and 3rd place medals. Last 2 teams – winner took consolation plate medals.
