I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would have the chance to play curling for the Russians. But that is what happened this week when I answered the call to step in when one of the Russian Senior Curling Team had to call off with a knee injury.
They were playing in the European Senior Invitation Curling Championships at Greenacres.

There were 18 teams in all. 3 were from Scotland, 2 each from England, Ireland, and Sweden and the rest represented most of the other curling countries in Europe.
Our results were mixed, with wins against Hungary and England but qualification for the Quarter Finals just eluded us.
The Russians were good guys and good curlers and we had a great week.
