After a great run to the semi final, our gents top 5 team lost out to an excellent Inverkeithing team. Gary and John both lost their games and were off the green first. Grant made a great comeback but ultimately lost out in the end, meaning the tie was finished. Lyle and Brian were both ahead at that point but came off as we couldn't win. Five very good games played in the right spirit on a terrible night. We would like to wish both Inverkeithing and Abbeyview best wishes in the final.
