Mixed Fortunes for the Nicolls

With the seasons initial skirmishes complete, there were mixed fortunes for the Nicolls in the opening round of the Knockout Competition.  With the holder, Morgan, away hob-nobbing with the Ryder Cup players, Lindsey stepped up to skip her dad's team.  With the score showing 5 - 3 down after four ends she steadied her troops to take the last three ends to beat Mike Wood 9 - 5.
In the other game Sandy took the helm as his first game as a full skip against John Good.  He took a while to settle and taking a three in the last end gave the scoreline some respectability but still recording a 7 - 5 loss.
The Final on Wednesday 1st October will be between Morgan (or Lindsey) Nicoll and John Good.

Season 2014 - 2015

Sandy - The new skip on the block

Spring cleaning of the website is now complete and we are almost ready for the new season to start.
Things get underway with our Annual Come and Try on Friday 19th September.  Sheena has already done a superb job of signing up her choir and this should be well attended.
The knockout competition then gets underway on Wednesday 24th September with all four rinks getting their first outing.

The main competitions, in the event of a two way tie will still be decided by the result in the head to head game but in the event of a three way tie will be decided, as before, by number of ends won followed by shots won. The scores including ends will be recorded on the results page.
Please remember that it is important that score cards are completed for all games.  The information that I require is the date, full names of all players, total score and number of ends won for each rink.
This information can be emailed to me  and should be in my hands within a week of the game.

Finally a warm welcome to our new (full) member Dave Wyllie and our new skip Sandy Nicoll.  It remains to be seen if Sandy can stop his dad running off with all the silverware again this season.
