22nd January Matches

The game started off strongly for Team D (Skip Jim Lindsay). However, the tables were turned by the opposing team B (Skip Steve McCreath) resulting in a win of 15-8 for his team.
It just shows, there's everything to play for!
The other game was more evenly matched and resulted in a 7 ends to 4 win for Alison's team C over Campbell's team. (Team A)
All results are posted on the "League Results" page.

Our Friendly match against Darvel CC

On Monday 21st January we played 2 rinks against Darvel Curling Club.
Mike's team of Anne & Steven  managed a peel at 5 all, despite being 1 player short.
Alison's team of Bill, Will & Steve Gillies had a very respectable 6-3 win.
The games were followed by sandwiches, coffee etc and an enjoyable night was had by all!
Thanks to Darvel for organising supper.

First game of Spring League 15 Jan, 2019

Alison provided a very helpful information sheet to remind everyone of the new rotating format for the Spring League.
Our four new skips of Jim Lindsay, Alison Young, Campbell Kay and Steven McCreath all performed really well and achieved extremely close results.
Jim and Alison's teams had a close result with Alison the victor with 7 points to 6. Jim's team had to play with 3 due to Steve Gillies being unwell.
Campbell and Steven's teams won each end by only 1 point with Campbell the victor by 4 point to 3!
Both matches played only 7 ends.
Well done everyone!

Stranraer Weekend

Last Friday saw 13 members, spouses and friends heading down the A77 for our annual weekend at the North West Castle Hotel. Unfortunately, due to illness and injury, our numbers were depleted at the last minute. After some last minute amendments to the teams, we fielded 3 rinks in the weekend competition. Top of the class was the rink skipped by Bert, ably supported by Alison, Ewan and Amy who finished runners up in their group, and qualified for the semi-final. After a hard fought (and very long) match, they just lost out. The other 2 rinks, skipped by Mike and Mara played well, but did not manage to progress from their groups. The curling is only part of the weekend however, and we enjoyed the hospitality on offer in the hotel. Same weekend next year - get the date in your diaries!
