Mara wins Silver in National Masters

Congratulations to Mara Lindsay who reached the final of the National Masters Competition at Greenacres yesterday.

Mara was third to Aileen McCorkill's Troon Portland Rink.

In the final, they came up against Elaine Semple's Greenacres rink, who had beaten them in last year's semi final.  Aileen's team got off to a great start but lost a big end in the 6th and eventually finished 10-6 down.

Stranraer weekend

Fifteen of us enjoyed our annual trip to Stranraer at the weekend.  The weekend kicked off with a thought-provoking quiz after dinner on Friday night. All teams were level after three rounds, with Mara's team winning the picture round to take bragging rights! We fielded three rinks in the competition. All teams had two games of curling on Saturday, followed by dinner, dancing and a ceilidh where some of our members contributed poems and stories. No really late nights as we all had a further game on Sunday morning. Congratulations to Mike's rink for finishing runners up in their section and qualifying for the semi-final. Unfortunately they did not make it to the final. Thanks to Ronnie and Jennifer for making all the arrangements and keeping us right over the weekend. Next year we are booked for the same weekend, so get that in the diaries!

First matches of the New year

Happy New Year to all Fullarton members.
Because of illness only one match got played in the opening night of the new season. Margaret's rink, skipped by Campbell, played Mara's rink. It was a good game on very keen ice, with Mara's rink coming out winners. We now have a gap of a few weeks before our next scheduled matches, although a number of us are heading for Stranraer for our annual curling weekend next week
Here's to a good year πŸ†πŸΈπŸ˜ƒ
