Christmas Bonspiel

Our Christmas Bonspiel was enjoyed by 14 players tonight. After a keenly contested round robin competition, Mike's rink came out worthy winners. Photograph below shows winning team of Graham, Mike, Sandra and Steven.

Following a festive supper and the prizegiving - where no one went home empty-handed, President Mike wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Well that was close!!

What an exciting conclusion to the Autumn League! Going into the final week, three rinks were all in a position to win . Both matches were hard fought. Richard's rink were successful over Margaret's, so everything hinged on the result on the other rink. Mara had a draw for shot with the final stone of the final end, but it was just too heavy, and slid to the back of the house, giving Mike's rink victory in both the match and the League. Very well done to Mike, Alison, Robin , Steven and Karen (don't panic, there were not five in the team - Steven and Karen shared lead)

Christmas Bonspiel next week - don't forget your 'bring and win' prize.

It's going to the wire!

Tonight's games resulted in a good win for David's rink over Margaret's rink. On the other sheet, Mike's and Bill's rinks were peels after 7 ends. In the final end, Mike took a single shot to give his rink victory. This means we have a nail biting conclusion to the League, with three teams in a position to win going in to the final games next week. David's rink can do no more, and will be relying on the results of other rinks to determine the final placings

Final three weeks, plus the Letton Bonspiel

Dave Pittam stepped in to skip at short notice, and led his team to a hard fought win against Margaret's rink. On the other sheet, David Wallace's rink played steadily to win over Richard's rink. Only two weeks of matches to go in this competition, and it is still very close!

Letton Bonspiel
Last night, David Wallace, Richard Morrison, Jim Paxton and Jim Lindsay represented Fullarton in Portland Curling Club's Letton Bonspiel. In this friendly match, players are allocated rinks made up of players from all participating Clubs. Congratulations to David who skipped the winning rink

17th November League Matches, plus European Championships

There were two very different matches on the ice tonight. On one sheet, David's rink had a comfortable win over Mara's rink. Over on the other sheet, Margaret's rink were 2 shots behind after 6 ends, but a 3 and a single on the last 2 ends saw her rink defeat Mike's after a very close match

Eve Muirhead's team of Anna Sloan, Vicci Adams and Sarah Reid start their campaign on Friday 20th against host team Denmark at 5.30 local time.

The Scottish men have difficult opener on Saturday morning against Norway's Thomas Ulsrud. The Scottish team is Kyle Smith (skip), Thomas Muirhead, Kyle Waddell and Cameron Smith.

Games will be broadcast on Eurosport and the TV schedule is here, but don't expect to see Scotland unless we reach the latter stages.

What a well turned out Club!

Looking resplendent in our new jackets, we took to the ice tonight. Big wins were enjoyed by both Mike and Bill, with Mike's rink  defeating David's by 12 shots to 3, and Bills's rink beating Mara's by 8 shots to 1. Players who have ordered new jackets, but have not yet received them, don't worry - Mara will get these to you as soon as possible

Halfway point of Autumn League

Very different results in tonight's matches. Rinks skipped by Bill and Graham (skipping in Margaret's place) had a very close game, with Bill managing a 3 in the final end to give him a 5 - 4 win. On the other sheet, Mara's rink had a good win over Mike's

Each rink has now played 4 games, and results are close. Richard is leading the field, one point ahead of Mike, with Mara 1 point behind that. It's all to pay for!
