Scotland’s Grand Masters head to The Hague
The Scotland over 60s and over 65s National teams are competing in the World Grand Masters Association World Cup, Den Haag, Netherlands from 5th – 13th June 2014.
This is the largest event ever hosted by the WGMA with 37 National and 22 tournament teams taking part. With over 1200 players, managers, coaches and officials this is truly the highlight of the Grand Master’s calendar.
The over 60s tournament consists of three groups of five teams. With Scotland taking on the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland and Wales in their section. The top two teams in each group plus the two best 3rd place teams from the three groups, qualify for the quarter finals.
The over 65s tournament consists of two groups, one of four teams, one of five teams. Scotland again face tough opposition in their group with games against Netherlands, England and Japan. The top two teams in each group qualify for the quarter finals.
There will be a series of play off matches, in both age groups, to decide the final placings. We wish both teams all the very best of luck for this prestigous event. For more details please see the official WMGA website
