Congratulations to David Wallace's team of Alison Young, Jim Lindsay and Barbara and Steve Kirby.  By narrowly beating Mike McNeill's team last night they moved to 13 points and clinched the title.

In the other game, Bill Inglis had a close victory over Richard Morrison by 5 shots to 4.

The final league table is:

Next week is our Closing Bonspiel, Dinner and AGM.  We meet to go on the ice at 6.15 and I look forward to seeing you all then.

One week to Go in League

Last night, Richard had only two players, so David Wallace was awarded two points, 6 shots and 5 ends in accordance with RCCC Rules.

David has therefore moved to 11 points.

In the other game, Margaret Morrison skipped the Bills team to a victory over Mara by 10 shots to 7.

Next week's final games are between Bills (Inglis and Abbott) and Richard, and a top of the table clash between David and Mike.

The winner will claim the title.  A draw will be sufficient for David to win.

It's Tight at the Top

There were wins last night for Mara, who beat Richard by one shot and Mike, who beat Bill Inglis by 4 shots.

As a result, the top three teams are now separated by only one point.

Mike McNeill and his team of Dave Pittam, Jim Paxton and Hilary Henry have now taken over top spot from David Wallace.

Mike has 9 points and +16 shots while David has 9 points and +10 shots. Close behind is the Mara Lindsay team, who have 8 points and +3 shots.

With two weeks to go, David has a game in hand, but his last game will be against Mike.  Interesting!
