Basil Townsend Quaich 2018

22 July 2018, Auchincruive

Glasgow, represented by Richard Sparrow, won the 2018 BTQ. On a dry, if not sunny day, four teams competed for the trophy: Auchincruive (Kevin Wright), Balgreen (Roger Binks), Glasgow (Richard Sparrow), and Meadows (Lorna Dewar). Three rounds of 18-point games were played with 2¼ hour time limits. Going into the last round, Richard managed to survive a late surge by Lorna to make it three wins out of three and win the trophy.
