William Young
|
William Young farmed at Bridgend near Airth. He was interested in ploughing and spent much time in the administration of the art. He was a prominent curler and played in several championships at Falkirk Ice Rink and elsewhere. His wife, Jessie, was also an international player. Willie was skip of his winning rink comprising, lead - Bobby Young; second - Jimmy Scott, third - John Pearson. His record in major curling competitions: World's Championship at Edinburgh (six times). British at Falkirk (six times). Scottish at Perth (twice). RCCC Rink Championship (six times). Ayr Open (twice). Queen Elizabeth at Glasgow (once). He also twice won the qualifying competition to represent Scotland in the Scotch Cup (at that time the truly World Championship). The first Scotch Cup was played in 1959. A series of five games against the Canadian Champions. His mother club was Airth Bruce Castle & Dunmore. His wrong foot delivery (right foot and right hand) from the crampit was excitingly unorthodox but, he played the stone with perfection and extreme accuracy. His wife Jessie, an excellent curler and winner of countless ladies and national tournaments, was a pillar of strength in all his interests, she played at lead in many winning games with Willie and in 1969, along with Jimmy Scott and WIllie Kerr triumphed in Willie's sixth British Open at Falkirk.
