Halloween week matches

Two very different matches on the ice this week. Mike and Richard both had high scoring ends, eventually peeling their match at 9 shots each. On the other sheet, David had a comfortable win over Margaret, steadily building up a winning score. Next week sees the halfway stage of the Autumn League matches

Indoor Grand Match

Six Fullarton players took part in the 2015 Indoor Grand Match on Saturday. This takes place every 5 years, and curlers from the North compete against curlers from the South. 2,376 curlers took part, in 17 ice rinks across Scotland. Fullarton were drawn to play at Stranraer, so Richard, Margaret, Jim and Mara set off bright and early, as they were on the ice at 10.00am. They had a very close match against Stranraer 1 (who were playing for the North (long story, don't ask!!), just losing out 8 - 9. Alison and Ronnie also took part - playing for Troon Portland and Gangrels respectively. This was a really enjoyable day - look out for the next one in 2020, and consider putting your name forward. Good news is that the South won - by 2154 shots to 1928. Have a look at the RCCC website for a full report

In his match with Richard's team, David took a 3 in the 8th end to peel the match at 7 shots all. After a very slow start, Mara's rink fought back, eventually losing out to a good performance by Margaret's rink by 10 shots to 5
