After landing in Preswick Airport and recovering from an all-night flight they were ready to play some serious rugby However, the first two stops on the tour, at Tronn on the west coast and Cupar on the east coast, proved to be educational as the team was defeated by the more enphstencet players.

The team's luck turned for the better when they emerged as victors at Preston Pans, near Edinburgh. "It was a good thing for the guys to __ win," says Mr. Rodway. Unfor- tunately, they were defeated once again at Gala Shiels but Mr. Rod- way could see a definite improve- ment in his players. Besides playing rugby the team also saw some interesting sights. At Tronn they visited the homé of Robert Burns, known world-wide for his poetry; and took a tour of the sur- rounding countryside. At Cupar they saw the golf course at St. Andrews where the British Open is played. At Gala Shiels they visited the home of Sir Walter Scott and an ab- bey built in 1136. During the group's last four days at Dunns, with the team which came to Port Perry last year, they went to Murray Field in Edinburgh to witness an interna- tional rugby match between Wales and Scotland and sat amidst 65,000 fans. 'It was a spectacle," com- ~ ments Mr. Rodway. Jitney puts end fo curling 'by Scott Howey 'The Port Perry teams of Steve Foster and Scott Howey had their run in the Governor Generals com- petition ended by a very disappoin- ting loss in the Regional Final this past Saturday. Playing at the Lamb- ton Golf & Country Club, the team 'won the first game quite easily finishing after nine ends. . In the second game Port Perry was well in control, up several points by the third end. From that point on things changed. The ice began to deteriorate rapidly and by the sixth end players had to throw as hard as they could to reach the far end. The Thernhill team was able to chip away at the score until they finally overtook Port Perry and -- went on to win the game. Port Perry's team members included Steve Foster, Ront Parish, Don Beaton, Ken Goreski and Scott Howey. Dave Roth, Rob Thompson and Dean Haugen. This past weekend was the Clos- ing Jitney at the Curling Club. There was a card party Friday night followed by curling and a dance on Saturday with those in attendance having an enjoyable time. ~<Jnce again, anyone wishing tickets for the Men's Banquet on April 29, contact Ralph Fairman at 985-7351 The 1986/87 curling season hfs finally come to an end, and with this being the last Curling Corner for the vear | would like to wish everyone, on behalf of the Curling Club and myself, a safe and enjoyable sum- mer and we'll see you in the fall. ITI IT T=, Mr. Rodway noticed many dif- ferences between Scotland's way of life and ours. "The housing is very different and the narrow streets in the towns and the winding: curvy roads give it character. The old stone fences have no mortar." The drivers there are much more patient according to 'him and they have a slower pace of life. There are very few policemen and they don't carry guns. The cost of living is the same but-the wages there are lower.
