E&L braced for stern test at Hawick
E&L will bid to make it five wins out of six without former captain Robert Donaldson, who is unavailable, and, with Russell Wilson moved to the bench, team boss Willie Watson brings back David Brown and Alex Hurry. Brown will play second to Paul O’Donnell, with Andy Sneddon switched to play third to Mal Higgenbotham, while Hurry is brought in at second to beef up James Hogg’s rink.
“This is the penultimate game in our section and the stakes are high, with West Fife and West Lothian and possibly Midlothian battling it out along with E&L to finish in the top two positions,” said Watson.

Midlothian will bid to get back on track against West Fife at Abbeyview but face the leaders without ace trio David Peacock, Colin Walker and Ronnie Duncan. Ryan Yuill, George Yuill, and Sandy Dippie come in, while Craig McFarlane and Ramsay Blair move up to skip.
