more close matches

Week 2 of the season, and we saw two more close matches tonight. In the first game, Mike's rink took a two in the penultimate end to draw level, but Richard's rink were successful in the final end to take both points. On the other sheet Bill's rink needed a two in the final end to force a peel, but Margaret's rink held on for the win. A successful night's curling for the Morrison household!

And they're off!

First matches of the new season tonight, and all bodes well for the remainder of the games. Both matches were very close, with the lead changing hands in the final end on both sheets. On sheet 5 Mike's rink took a 3 in the final end to defeat Mara's rink (skipped by Jim), while on sheet 6 Richard took a 2 in his last end to give a win over Margaret's rink.

Closing Bonspiel and AGM

16 members took part in a fun Closing Bonspiel last night, with the rink skipped by Bill Inglis being the top team. This was followed by an excellent meal provided by Passion Caterers, and the AGM. President Mike has come to the end of his 2 year term of office, his final duty was to present prizes to this years winners. New President Alison took over the chair, and led discussions on on number of matters. One significant decision was to withdraw from the ICL competition, and enter a team in Ayr CC Day league instead. This will give an opportunity for daytime curling for those who are able to do so. More information on this to follow. Ice request form is being submitted to Ayr CC this week, and teams for the Autumn league will be out before we know where we are!

Prizewinners for the season:

 winners of Closing Bonspiel: President Mike with Jim, Campbell, Bill and Roy

 Mike presented the Broom to the only member of Margaret's winning rink present, Dave

 Alison presented the Salver for the Spring League to Mike and Mabel

 Mara presented Mike with his prize for the Points (trophy to follow!)

Pairs winners Anne and Ronnie with Mike

Happy holidays - hope the Spring / Summer weather is good to us, and we are all back on the ice fit and healthy in September

(Mixed) Doubles

We tried our hand at Mixed Doubles last night - only it wasn't quite Mixed,as we had more gents than ladies! No problem, we played it as Doubles. Mara explained the format, and had produced some Help Sheets. 2 groups then took to the ice. Everyone enjoyed the games, once they got their head round 'positioned stones' and who played when! Hopefully we can try this again at some point in the future

 Campbell, Jim, Dave and Robin - still smiling after their game

Alison, Jim, Mike and Roy 

 Ronnie, Alison, Freda and Mike, with their 'prizes' - yes, that's 2 chocolate rabbits that Alison won!

Final League matches

The final matches were played tonight. Mike's rink continued their winning streak and came out winners against Graham's rink. On the other sheet, Mara's rink won the 2nd / 3rd play off against Dave's rink. Congratulations to Mike and his rink of Steve, Steven and Barbara, and Mabel on winning the Spring League

Next week we have our Mixed Doubles trial, followed by Closing Bonspiel and AGM on the 28th
