  1. Andrew Hayes = one of the nicest guys in piping, and couldn’t be happier for him! Awesome to see Boney get over the Silver hurdle and take his place in the Gold Medal event! Congrats to all other prizewinners on a good day, especially Jori and Andy R in the Gold Medal.

  2. Congratulations to all winners there.. Has any one noticed that Mr. Hayes’ win is only the third piper raised taught and living in Ontario to win a gold medal? I count Livingstone and MacGillivray before him. USA has two with Cusack and Woodly. Brit Columbia one with Jack Lee. Maybe my counts are off a bit. Interesting facts though.
