It's Christmas!

Last night's Christmas Bonspiel was a great success, with 25 members taking part. We were delighted to welcome Val Blandy and Jim Paxton to the club, and to see Rosemary McNee on the ice again.

Some of the action
After several close games, the winners were Bill Abbott's team of Margaret Morrison, Forbes Watson and Jim Paxton. They won three out of four games and finished on 6 points.
Runners up were David Wallace's team with two wins and a better shots score.

Final Games in Autumn League

There were two very close results tonight, although both games had great fightbacks of 5 shots in the last three ends to make them so tight.
Pride of place went to David Wallace's team of Mara Lindsay, Bob Handley and Alison Young, who hung on for a draw against Richard Morrison to cement their place as winners of the Autumn League.
They finished on 13 points, 4 clear of David Gilmour's team and fully deserve the title.
In the other game, Bill Inglis and his team hung on to win 8-7 against Graham Spence's team.

The final league positions are:

Team Played Points Shots+ Ends Position
DWallace 8 13 16 37 1
DGilmour 8 9 -5 30 2
B Inglis 8 8 0 31 3
