The Cousin Trophy. first played for in 1950 at Edinburgh Curling Club, was given a major revamp in its 75^th year and in the new format Team Keron lifted the venerable silverware from competition that included players from Canada, Denmark and England.

Rather than running a season long round robin league the competition was converted into a two day, four game. Bonspiel, with eight teams taking part at Curl Edinburgh.

After three rounds the teams were split into a top four high road and bottom four low road. One more round of games were played with all teams still in contention for a prize.

Team Keron – Cousin Trophy winners. Team Keron, who were presented with the Cousin Trophy, comprised, left to right, Rachel MacRae, Andrew Keron, Fran Stretton and Ian Keron.

Team Wilson – “Low Road” winners. The Low Road was won by Team Wilson comprising, left to right: Keith Wilson, Shona Wilson, Margaret Sharp and John Sharp
plus Edith Butler who missed the photo-call.

After all games were completed the high road winner was clear; one team had won all four of their games. In the low road, it was a much closer affair with shots difference separating the top two.
