Scottish Vets v Irish Vets

Eyjafjallajokull. Not a swear word but the name of the volcano responsible for the cancellation (among a few other things) of the Scottish v Irish Vets match at Portmarnock Links at the beginning of this week.
We are celebrating 10 years of this competition so fortunately a new date has been found in a busy calendar. ------ 20th - 22nd July.

Volcanic Disturbance Causes Disappointment to Defence of Mary McKenna Perpetual Trophy

The Scottish Vets match against the Irish has been cancelled due to the flight disruption after the Volcanic disruption in Iceland. Helen Faulds and Alex Glennie were part of the team plus Jennifer Mack was travelling as well to play in an arranged match.
The captain, Pamela Williamson of Baberton, like the rest of the team, had no doubt been idly watching the volcanic news (before sitting up in her chair to watch the really riveting - as opposed to rivetting on some bunker faces - the riveting stuff about the impending General Election) when gradually it had dawned that this volcanic situation wasn't looking so good. And then suddenly the flights were not endangered but cancelled. She tried everything from ferries to alternative flights to Shank's pony but sadly they were all heavily booked. So the end result is no match this weekend but watch this space in October.--- Thanks to Noreen Fenton from the East Vets for that information) To read her full report go to the East Vets Website
