CONGRATULATIONS EVE

County Squad member Eve Muirhead has had a pretty hectic time over the past year, I am sure you all know that she has been working flat out on her curling preparation for the Olympics in Vancouver. The team of Eve, Jackie Lockhart, Kelly Wood and Lorna Vevers, did really well, although they were not in line for medals, they had some excellent wins and all their games were close run things.
As soon as they returned from Canada the played the finals of the Scottish Championships which they won. So off they went again to Canada for the World Championships. Unfortunately Jackie Lockhart, sustained a severe knee injury during the Scottish finals, necessitating surgery, so Annie Laird took her place in the team. Jackie is well on her way to recovery.
At the Worlds, Eve and her rink excelled themselves, only missing the Gold Medal by loosing at an extra end in the final against Germany, in the semifinal they trounced the favourites Canada!
Very well done to them all, returning home with the Silver Medal. I am sure they will go on to even greater things in the future.
I hope Eve will now have some time to relax and play some golf, at which she also excels!!
