eeside's pipers took top honours at the 1st competition of the season by winning both grade 3 and Grade 2 at the Quartets in Aberdeen. In doing so they have hit the ground running and have set the standard for the band for the rest of the year.

While both performances may not have been 100% to the players liking it will give them undoubtable confidence in the MSR which the band will have to play at the Worlds in August. Indeed if the band can maintain or even improve on the high standard it set on Saturday, Deeside has every right to feel optimistic for the forthcoming season.

The grade 2 competition returned this year after being replaced by an open grade 1 last year, which Deeside also won.
