Hawick
Junior Handicapped Tournament
The annual Hawick junior
handicapped tournament was played on Tuesday, 21 April, 2009 at
Hawick High School main games hall. Two pools of 8 players
played round robin games against each other with each game
played over one end to 15 points. The top two players
from each pool went through to play in the semi-finals. Connor Telfer (0) and Henry Leask (+7) went through from pool A as
winner and runner up respectively and Tara MacTaggart (-4) and
Douglas Telfer (+6) also reached the semi-finals as winner and
runner up respectively from pool B.

Connor Telfer played
his younger brother Douglas in the first semi-final. Despite
a valiant effort from Douglas, Connor won the game 15-11.
The second semi-final was played between Tara MacTaggart
and Henry Leask. Henry did well to get to the semi-final by
just edging out Ross Elliot on points won in the pool games.
Although Henry played well in the semi-final, he eventually
went down 15-11 to Tara. The final in the
2009 tournament was a repeat of the 2008 final between
Connor Telfer and Tara MacTaggart.
Connor began the final
with some well placed shots and managed to edge in front of Tara
at the start of the match. The good start from Connor made
it difficult for Tara to recover, particularly when she was
giving Connor four points of a start due to the difference in
handicaps. The standard of play throughout the final was very
high and the spectators were treated to some hard fought, long
rallies. Connor's standard of play remained consistently high
during the final and he went on to beat Tara 21-14.
The final trophy for
"Player of the Year" was presented to Ross Graham for his
dedication, commitment and steady development throughout the
season. Not only has Ross hardly missed a Tuesday or Thursday
evening coaching session in Hawick this season, he also
travelled to Jedburgh on most Monday evenings to attend the
performance sessions organised by John Peters.
