Pairs Competition

Tonight's Pairs Competition resulted in a very exciting conclusion. 5 pairs played in a Round Robin competition. Going into the final group of matches, any two of the four teams playing could qualify for the final. Both matches were level at 2 shots each, going into the final end. The successful teams were David Wallace and Jim Paxton who qualified for the final against Ronnie Peat and Jim Lindsay. The remaining competitors watched from upstairs as a closely fought final was played out below us. David and Jim took the first end with 2 shots. Ronnie and Jim fought back to take the second end with a single. It was Ronnie and Jim who came up trumps in the final end, taking a 3, and winning the trophy. Well done to everyone who took part, it was great end to a good night's competition

Both Richard and Margaret led their rinks to victory tonight. Richard's rink came from behind to have a comfortable win over Mara's rink. On the other sheet, Margaret's rink had a good win over David's rink

week 2 results

Hard to say whether the Stranraer curlers were benefiting from the extra practice or still suffering the after-effects of the weekend! Mara led her rink to a good win over Margaret's rink. Mike's rink has a close game with the rink led by Dave Pittam (skipping in place of David Wallace). A 4 at the last end resulted in victory for Dave's rink

Stranraer Weekend

Fullarton Curling Club descended on the North West Castle Hotel in Stranraer for our Annual Curling Weekend - for some our seventh visit, for others their first! We entered four rinks into the Hotel's weekend competition. We all enjoyed our games, but came against some strong opposition from as far away as Aberdeen, and most results unfortunately did not go out way! However, we had a great time, enjoyed some excellent food, and had fun at the dance and following ceilidh on Saturday night. Provisional booking already made for next year!

Spring League Week 1

Happy New Year to everyone!

The Spring League got off to an excellent start, Mara's rink had a good win over Mike's rink. On the other sheet,  Margaret's rink, skipped by Alison, came out top in a close fought match against Bill's rink.

Just a reminder that the Club Information Page contains useful information re what happens in situations like players not turning up for a match, or playing positions of subs - worth a read

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.
