Week 3 Results and Other Things
Last night saw two very close games, an exciting change from the "big wins" of the first two weeks. Mike McNeill's team beat Richard Morrison's at the last stone and on the other sheet David Wallace's team narrowly defeated David Gilmour's team, a game which also went to the last stone.
Skipping for David Wallace was Bob Handley, in his first game at skip. He played some crucial shots for victory.
Kyle & Carrick
Our team played on Monday against Kilmarnock Townend and unfortunately couldn't repeat their earlier success, losing to John Evans's experienced team.
The RCCC sent out the first issue of their online magazine on Monday.
In case you didn't receive it, here is a link.
Lastly, Bill Abbott has some curling shoes for sale.
He emailed me with
As you may have noticed, I am using the cue now - so I have a size 8 pair of curling shoes, slider/kipper, in good condition for disposal?

Points Competition
The Points Trophy was played for last night with 10 keen curlers competing.
Everyone enjoyed the night, helped with the scoring and generally had a good time. We played all but one of the disciplines and the ice was judged as good, with all the shots being possible, although perhaps not easy to accomplish.
Everyone at least made it to double figures and the final result was very close.
