Circuit Event 1 Arbroath

The first event of the Scottish Circuit took place in Arbroath on Sunday 12th October. Glasgow took six players to the event including Baver Bari. Bari is still signed for Hot Club but will transfer to Glasgow once the FISTF dissolution of HCE is complete. The competition was won by Greg Dand who defeated Gareth Christie in the final match. It was not a great day for Glasgow players. Best was Tom Burns who won his group to reach the semi finals only to lose to Gareth Christie and then Steve Bennett and thus gain 4th spot. Dave Butler, after an absence of two years from national competitions, found himself in the ‘group of death’ with Gareth Christie and Greg Dand. Butler lost narrowly to both and finished 3rd in the group. He then, surprisingly, lost on shots to Rob Conway and had to settle for 8th position. Baver Bari and John Halpin were drawn in the same group and finished 4th and 5th, Bari having secured a 1-0 victory over Halpin. Dave Gladman and Martin Phee were in the same group as Tom Burns and they too finished 4th and 5th. Gladman, complaining of sticky pitches, could manage only 3 draws and a 2-0 defeat to Tom Burns. Gladman went on to defeat Baver Bari to finish 10th with Bari 11th. Martin Phee played John Halpin for 13th spot, with Phee winning 1-0.

  1. Great day out! Yes, pitches a bit sticky but that’s all part of playing away from home. Well played Tom as highest placed GTSA player!
