Ken was just 14, and Graeme 17 when they won the Rink Championship in the 1970-71 season as part of the Glasgow Schools team. It has taken them a few years  to come back and try to win it again. Quite a record for the two of them - they are unbeaten in the competition! The other two winners in the 1970-71 photo are Second player John Brown and Lead Ian Webster (C1973).
