Sorry Freda wasn't having a good time!!

29th October Results

On rink 2 it was a tight match between Margaret and Bill. Nothing in it after two ends but then Bill started to ease away, building a three shot lead by the fifth end. Margaret fought back in the sixth but Bill maintained a two shot cushion going into the final end. Lying two and with the hammer, Margaret drew in to tap up and take a three, winning the match 7-6.

Over in rink 3 it was a different story. After three ends it was all square at 2-2. Then Mara’s team put the foot down taking a two, three then four in the next three ends. Alison’s team tried to fight back in the seventh but as the bell rang and the prospect of a big end faded, they took a one and ended the game at 3-11.

So all change at the top of the league. With Campbell not playing both Mara and Margaret took advantage to move ahead on points, Mara edging into first place on shots and ends. Campbell dropped to third and Bill lies in fourth. Alison is still the strongest Skip in the league, propping up the rest. With five games to go, it’s all to play for!

40th Anniversary Dinner

The Club had an excellent evening at Troon Welbeck Golf Club to celebrate our 40th Anniversary.
President Jim Paxton welcomed everyone and Mike McNeill toasted the Club with a brief history of Fullarton Curling Club. We had a super meal, followed by Douglas Dodds (past president) and Dave Pittam playing their ukuleles and singing some suitable curling songs.We then went on to play some games of skill  & fun provided by Douglas Dodds. Jim Lindsay and Sheena Dodds were the overall winners. I will try to attach some photos on a separate post.

21st October Results

Campbell Kay's team played to the usual high standard and had an excellent 9-4 win over Margaret's team.
Despite Bill's team being 1 player short he managed a 7-4 win over Alison's team.
We had several players from Disnae Club who made up the teams and we are very grateful to them.

Withdrawal from Day League and Day League KO

Campbell Kay who took on the role of co-ordinating the Day League players for the Club has found it extremely difficult to make up the teams for the Day League. In view of the on-going difficulties in finding sufficient players we have taken the difficult decision to withdraw from the Day League and Knock Out. We had 4 team members and 5 reserves at the beginning of the year but holiday commitments, injury etc have made Campbell's job impossible.
Thanks to Campbell for all his efforts.

15th October League Games

The writer of this was not playing but I'm told by Jim Paxton that it was a great night of curling producing really close results. A lot of our team members were unavailable to play and the club was very grateful to several members of Disnae Club in making up our teams.
Campbell's team peeled with Bill's team skipped by Steve Gillies.
Margaret's team skipped by Mike McNeill had a 7-6 win over Mara's team.

Well done everyone and thanks again to all who subbed for the usual team players!

Points Competition 8th October

Robin, Alan, Steve, Mike, Jim, Campbell and Margaret played in the Points Competition.
For some this was their first time playing points but they soon learned to work out the line and the weight without the help of a skip!
With only 7 playing we managed to play 9 of the 10 Points challenges with Margaret being the overall winner and Campbell only 1 point behind.
It was a most enjoyable evening of curling.

1st October League Games

Both matches were really close and played in an excellent competitive manner.
Mara's team skipped by Steve McCreath in her absence had an 8-4 win over Campbell's team skipped by Jim Lindsay. The game was really close until Steve's team had a three at the 7th end.

Margaret's team had a 6-4 win over Alison's 3 man team. (Her sweepers worked really hard!)
Margaret had a 3 point win at the first end and thereafter the game was really close.
