Central NY Scottish Games - August 9, Long Branch Park. A disappointing 5th place, but every competition is a learning experience. Thanks to everyone who gave up their Saturday to drive out to Syracuse and compete.
Hunter Mt Celtic Festival - August 17, 3rd overall, nice job to all that competed!
Capital District Scottish Games - Altamont - August 30, Finished 8th out of 15. More importantly than the finish, was the fact that we played well. Overall, a good competition season.
