Scotland host Grand & Great Grand Masters 4 Nations this weekend
Scotland’s Over 60 and Over 65 teams take on the rest of the UK this coming weekend at Peffermill in the Home International Tournament, with separate competitions for the two age groups.
The Linburn Trophy for Grand Masters (Over 60) is the premier competition, fought out between England, Ireland. Scotland and Wales, whilst the Great Grand Masters (Over 65) tournament involves England, Scotland and Wales. England, as holders of both trophies from the last event in Wales in 2013, start as favourites but the other countries have been training hard and will provide stiff opposition for the holders.
The tournament begins on Friday 10 July with Scotland Great Grand Masters looking to repeat their success against Wales earlier this year in the Celtic Cup. Later in the evening, Scotland Grand Masters will find out if their hard work in training will pay off and allow them to gain revenge on Ireland, Grand Masters Celtic Cup winners.
