Stromness Legion win seventh Orkney Team Cup

The Stromness Legion secured a league and cup double last night with a 5-2 win over fellow West Mainland rivals ‘Standing Stones 1’ in the final of The Orkney Team Cup.

A strong start saw the Legion take the first 2 scotch doubles matches 2-0 before the Stones fought back to take the final doubles 2-1. The game was already proving to be a high standard affair and this continued as the Stones levelled by winning the first singles. A run of 3 straight singles wins then saw the Stromness Legion reach the winning target of 5 to cap off another highly successful season.


The win was also a fifth straight Orkney Team Cup for the Stromness side and a seventh Orkney Team Cup success overall since the trophy began in 2003.
