K. M. Cameron Wins Club Kettle After Late Start
Nairn Curling Club's points points challenge tournament was held on Wednesday at Nairn pond, when the “Silver Kettle" trophy was won by K. M. Cameron with 8 points. His achievement was made all the more remarkable by the fact that he was a late starter, missing half the competition.
At Nairn on Tuesday the home club defeated the “Highland" (Inverness) by 26 points to 17, and on Thursday Nairn defeated Ardclach by 33 points to 20 at Nairn.
