Scottish Cup Plate 2023
The Scottish Cup Plate is a team competition for those teams who lost their first match in the Scottish Cup event.
The field is, therefore, about half the number of teams in the main event.
This year, all the matches in the Plate event were held online
In the 2023 final event, held on RealBridge on January 3rd, the opposing teams were captained by Peter Moss and David Shenkin. David Shenkin, partnered by Cameron McLatchie, plus Martin Diamond and Selman, emerged winners after 48 boards. An article on the final will appear in the next issue of the SBU Monthly . . .
