Welcome to the new Edinburgh International Curling media site.

Edinburgh International Webcast

The draw for the Edinburgh International Championships next weekend has thrown up some interesting games and has given the schedulers some tough choices to make!

Webcasts start at 13.45 on Friday 25 November with the local Scottish derby game between Stranraer’s Frazer Hare and Perth’s David Smith.  Both these teams will have their supporters and they should serve up an interesting game of curling on ice that
is drawing a good four feet at draw weight on recently-turned stones.  Frazer has Robbie Stevenson playing third, with a front end of Jamie Strawhorn and Don Frame.  David has namesake Warwick at third, Craig Wilson at second and Ross Hepburn throwing lead stones.

On Friday at 19.15, we have decided to webcast young Jay McWilliams’s game versus the vastly-experienced Thomas Ulsrud side fromNorway.  Jay has local Murrayfield curler
Colin Dick at third, Grant Hardie at second and his cousin Billy Morton at lead.  Colin and Billy are reigning Scottish junior champions.  Had their team not been swamped by lurgy at Perth in the world junior championships earlier this year, I think that they may very well have medalled.  Thomas Ulsrud and his team of Torger Nergård, Christopher Svae and Håvard Vad Petersson need no introduction to Scottish TV fans.  They have featured in many World, Olympic and European championship games in the recent past.

On Saturday, our first webcast will be at 10.45 when we will feature the game between Logan Gray and regular Edinburgh competitors, David Śik and his team from the Czech Republic.Logan has Al Guthrie, Steve Mitchell and Murrayfield’s own Sandy
Gilmour, while David brings Radek Boháč, Karel Uher and Milan Polívka over from
the continent.

Later on that day (and depending on how the league tables are looking), we plan to cover the Tom Brewster versus John Hamilton game on Saturday at 13.50 and the David Murdoch versus Graham Shedden tie at 19.15.

We will cover one of the semi finals on Sunday 27 November at 11.30 and the championship final at 14.30.

All times are UK.
CET is one hour ahead.
