We were delighted to be able to present the trophy to Neil Strachan of Claverhouse Curling Club, who successfully out-swept the competition to win the Phin League sponsored by Lindsays.
This is the first year we have sponsored the league as well as having a team compete in it. It was a closely contested competition to win this year’s trophy and a Claverhouse win in the last round of matches was just enough to see them pip Lundie and Auchterhouse to the title.
David Rose, a Partner in our Commercial Property team in Dundee, is one of the Lindsays’ players and was at Tuesday evening’s prizegiving (Tuesday 5 March 2024) to present the trophy to the winning club.
David said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed playing in the league - and to be playing a part in the ongoing development of the sport across Tayside by being a sponsor too.
“A number of our players have curled competitively for the first time this season and have really enjoyed it. We would thoroughly recommend that people come and give curling a try - and that more local businesses consider forming their own teams too. It’s a great way to build workplace camaraderie outside of the office.”
Alastair Scott is the secretary of Broughty Ferry Curling Club and he added: “We have had a great season - and it has been fantastic to see more people trying curling in the region this winter, experiencing for themselves how this is a sport for all. The support we have had from businesses like Lindsays is really important in helping us open opportunities for others to take to the ice.”
