The players are obviously well pleased with themselves and their performance which has brought in some impressive silverware.

Pam Telford, manager of Haig, says: “We’ve received the photo from a lovely chap, now living in Biggar, Lanarkshire, whose dad, Jimmy Ness, is fourth from the right, standing up at the back. We’d like to know a bit more about it to feature in our exhibition.’’

Call the museum on 01946 599949 if you can shed any light.
