Closing Bonspiel and AGM

Five teams took part in our Closing Bonspiel tonight. It was particularly nice to welcome Sandi back on the ice, as well as new player Katie. Following the Bonspiel we sat down to an enjoyable meal, provided by Steven, Hazel and their staff. The evening concluded with the AGM, chaired by President Mike.

What a finish!

An exciting night's curling to finish off the Spring League. Either David's rink or Margaret's rink could win the League - Margaret's rink had the better ends / shots results, so David's rink had to achieve a better result than Margaret's to triumph. Just to make it more nail-biting, they were not playing each other! David's rink were playing against Richard's rink, and Margaret's rink were playing against Mike's rink. Going into the eighth ends, it was still anyone's game, with both contenders having a narrow lead. Margaret's rink succeeded by scoring a 2 at the final end, to win the trophy - well done to Margaret, Alison, Jim and Steven. Commiserations to David, Dave, Robin and Sandra

An exciting last week in store!

Tonight's games saw David's rink and Mara's rink having a peeled game. On the other sheet, Mike's rink won against Richard's rink. This means that it is all to play for next week - both David and Margaret's rinks have the same points total, so it all hinges on the results of next week's matches

Another busy night at the ice rink

A very close game on sheet 1 tonight, with Bill's rink narrowly beating Mara's  rink by one shot. On sheet 2 David's rink were successful over Margaret's rink. The Spring League is heading for an exciting finish, with 4 teams all within 4 points of each other - no pressure then over the final two weeks of matches!

Tuesday's Matches

Close matches again tonight in the Spring League. David's rink got off to a good start against Mike's rink, winning the first four ends. Mike's rink fought back, winning the next three ends, but could not make up the deficit, so David's rink took both points. On the other sheet Mara's rink were ahead by three shots going into the last end against Margaret's rink (skipped by Alison). A strong performance from Margaret's rink in the final end resulted in a peeled match

Annual Match against Darvel

We had our annual match against Darvel last night.  Our two teams were David Wallace, Mike, Campbell and Jennifer, and Ronnie, Alison, Robin and Anne.

Both teams won their first end, but things did not go quite so well afterwards.  David's team eventually lost by 8 shots to 2 and Ronnie's by 13 shots to 5.

Thereafter, we had drinks, sandwiches and coffee in the bar and a very convivial evening was enjoyed.

Valentine Week matches

Two very different matches on Tuesday night! On one sheet, Mike's rink took a 2 in the final end to give them a narrow win over Mara's rink (skipped by Graham). On the other sheet, Margaret's  rink had a good win over Richard's
