I’ve been involved for about 45 years now. Even last Monday night I played. You play a game with 6 quoits. You get a break if you put your six on. You go back and have another shot. I finished up with 72 out of 10 shots. That’s over a break at a time. Getting up to nearly 8 a throw. Back in the hey day I was capable of throwing 60, then you had to stop. I was quite capable of throwing plenty of sixties. We won a lot of premierships with Hilgay, then it changed to Settlement. It is something that existed in the town now for about 50 years I suppose and still very strong. They had the Australian Championship here and I played in one a while back in Hamilton and I went pretty well. We got into a bit of grog and ‘red ned’ on the social side of it after Quoits on each Monday night. Jock Beaton would always come with a gallon flagon of wine. We always had plenty of darn refreshments. We always reckoned you know that it steadied your nerves down and it made you sort of more steady and the reason now why I don’t get so many is we don’t sort of ‘sting’ ourselves like we used to. Of course they used to have the big wind up there. They always put on an 18 and big dance – magnificent repast dinner. Hot meals there. Unfortunately, Hamilton’s pulled out. We used to go in there and have a social evening. The same thing applied there. There was always plenty of liquids, tucker and you’d have a hell of good night. Of course like everything else, sport in a lot of country areas is sort of disappearing. They’ve now got other darn types of sport. I still like the quoits. The number of people who play here is still pretty healthy. We had the older players before – the top players. We haven’t got any top players now because when the Championships come with players capable of throwing their five or six hundred without a miss. That’s all gone out of it now. We’re all a pretty average bunch now. We’ve had Australian Championship here. Alf Grey won an Australian Champion and Denise Waldron – she was the Australian Ladies champion. Coleraine has figured pretty prominently with top class Champions and you can’t do much better than that can you? It’s Monday nights and its damn good entertainment.
