After a fine away win at Kelso the Jed gents were looking to take some of that for into the first home game of the season.
This wasn't the case as the home side never really got going and along with the visitors bringing their A game it ended as a one sided affair.
A bad day at the office for the Jed team but they must regroup quickly for their next game away to Melrose.

With League restructuring on the horizon for next season, it is vital for the Jed team to get a good start to the start to this year as the bottom 4 teams will be relegated to help change the league from 2 teirs to a 3 teir system.
Jed certainly started with a bang which saw them take a solid victory away at Kelso.
With 3 rinks up, 1 draw and 1 loss the Jed side managed a solid win by 46 shots
