Christmas Greetings

Merry Christmas and Good Curling for 2014

 

Thirds Medal Underway

With the Trophy Competition complete, the Thirds Medal commenced with a win for Dale.  This leaves 'oor president' topping the into the Christmas Break.  Dale put his win down to 'fear over what I would write about him on the website'.  (Well, it worked then ;-)  )

Province Knockout 2013

With a deeply unpopular fixture time of a Saturday in mid December, Graeme, Lindsey, Dale and Julie set out against a Dirleton team led by Callum Harvey.  Our team took a while to get their minds off Christmas festivities and by the start of the fourth end were trailing by six shots to nil.  The game then swung, like the ice, in our favour and with some precision shots and guarding we took the next three ends to produce a more respectable 6 - 3 scoreline.  Dirleton were not about to lose a fourth consecutive end and proceeded to remove everything we put in the house.  Callum played his final shot against two of our counters, splitting the house and on the tee line, knowing that Dirleton had already won the game.  That didn't stop him drawing to the button and making the final score seven shots to four.
There is always next year.

Wood returns to winning ways

Congratulations to Mike Wood and his team of George Chisholm, L Nicoll and Pauline Alexander for taking the 'Trophy' in dominant style.  This win also puts him in pole position for the Peter Allan Shield with a 100% win record at the halfway stage.  This result also represents a return to winning form.
Our season now continues with the Thirds Medal.

Callum, Alex, Tom, Morgan and Robin

Congratulations to Morgan Nicoll, who helped skip one of East Lothian Province's rinks to win the

This Bonspiel brings together Midlothian, Peeblesshire and East Lothian under the Area 5 banner. Each Province fields two teams, as does the Royal Club which this year included Willie Nichol, Chairman of the Board of the RCCC and David Henderson, Vice President.

East Lothian showed their class by coming out 10 shots up. with the next highest being the Royal Club with 3, Peebles with 2 and Midlothian a bit further back.
The programme for this Bonspiel combines good curling and social time. Club players, recent Tour players, former Internationalists and senior Office Bearers alike played and made the most of the opportunity, and East Lothian is to be congratulated in having proved again that it has plenty of curling talent
