The homing doo has just arrived back from Clackmannan (turn left at the moon) and I am delighted to report that Stronvaar, backed by a goodly amount of supporters who used the free bus, most with Walkmans (or is that Walkmen) lashed to their ears, have progressed to the next round of the Scottish Top Ten thanks to wins by John McLean in the singles and Jimmy Anderson and Archie Johnston (nice to see one Boys' player knows how to win) in the pairs. Their accumulated shots meant that a match tied at 2-2 allowed them to progress to the next round against either Aberdeenshire or Lothians again away from the hallowed turf that is Stronvaar. Thanks to events in Motherwell earlier in the afternoon, selector and player, Robert Hendrie, faces a long and miserable road home consoled only by the fact that, unlike Mr O'Neill, he can pick a winning team. Once I know the venue for the next round, I'll post again asking for advice on hotels in either sheep city or the city of architecture (your choice)! Well done lads and all the supporters.
