Team Edwards to National Academy

David Edwards and his team of Moray Combe, Gavin Fleming and Graham Sloan have belatedly been included in the Royal Club's National Academy Squad, see the post on the Royal Caledonian Curling Club's website here.

When the athletes selected for the Squad were named last month (see here), several names were missing. The Edwards team lost out in a tiebreaker for fourth place in the Bruadar Scottish Championship last season, and many thought that such a good performance deserved Royal Club support this season. Today's announcement indicates that others agree, and that funding is now in place for them to be included. That brings the National Academy Squad teams to eight.
