Held at Auchenharvie Ice Rink in Stevenson, Scotland on Wednesday 14th November 2007.
This friendly annual event was revived by the ICA in 1994 but was first played in 1861.
Originally we hoped to play it alternating between Irish and Scottish ice rinks,
however we cannot provide ice time in Ireland at the moment, so
for the sixth year running Stevenson Ice rink hosted the event.
The Trophy is the Belfast Medal hanging in a wooden curling stone.
The medal was originally played for between Belfast Union and RCCC.
The competition was played on two rinks. The ICA curlers were
* Gordon MacIntyre,
* Jim Winning,
* John Furey,
* Ron Tosh.
* Marie O'Kane,
* Carolyn Hibberd,
* Gillian Drury,
* Liz Knox.
Both Irish teams were defeated by Ardrossan Castle Curling Club.
Marie O'Kane's team lost by three shots to Donnie Sneddon
while Gordon McIntyre's team lost by five shots to Drew Campbell.
Ardrossan Castle were extremely hospitable as usual and the games were enjoyed by all & played on very keen ice
in the best of spirit. After the match both teams repaired to the bar for a drink where sandwiches were
provided.
The ICA President, Gordon MacIntyre, thanked Ardrossan Castle for their hospitality
and hoped that one day soon we might be "able to get them on our own ice".
