East Lothian Province Competition - Draws

The Draws for the East Lothian Knock-out, the Pairs and the Bonspiel competitions have now been completed and can be found on the FIXTURES page.

Trophy Competition Commences

The Nicoll family seem unstoppable, and that is with Morgan still to take to the ice.
Our new skip, Sandy got off to a poor start in his first Trophy game as a skip losing a four to John Good's rink.  The nerves were settled with a three at the next end but he continued to play catch up for the entire game.  Fortunately for Sandy, you only have to lead the game at the end, which is what he managed to do with a final end two.
The final score of 7 to 6 makes Sandy our league leader.

The Knockout Winner is........

Despite not yet setting foot on an ice rink this season Morgan wins the Knockout.
After asking his eldest daughter to deputise for him in the first round and her good win against Mike, she was allowed to skip the rink in the final where she came up against the  sadly out of form John Good rink. This is actually a bit unfair as neither headlining skip was on the ice.
The results show a comprehensive win for Lindsey J Nicoll and her team of George, Karen and Dave.
Even Graeme (skipping for John Good) trying Mike Wood's tactics and turning up well into the first end (accident on the Bypass) didn't help and his team were always playing catch up.
The eventual score of 8 shots to 1 will ensure that Lindsey gets her name on a major Aberlady trophy for the first time.
