The Highs and the Lows of the Points

 With a diminished field we say CONGRATULATIONS to the reigning champions for successfully defending their titles.  David Wyllie took the crown in style, improving last years score by two.  Meanwhile Julia, despite fierce competition from herself took the ladies trophy increasing her score by 20% from last season.  Julia was the only competitor that scored in every discipline and also moves up three places to 8th (2nd lady) in the 'all time list'

Meanwhile Graeme improves from last years wooden spoon with a third, defeating John G into fourth.  Both Graeme and John recorded their lowest all time Aberlady Points scores.  As one lady present, who shall remain nameless (!) both their scores combined wouldn't have beaten our champion.

Let's hope for a much increased field next season.

     

   

The End of the Thirds ( and domination)

The final game of the thirds saw the championship winning rink without it's skip.  Team Hicks took full advantage and gave the McOmish squad their first loss and in the process administered a thrashing.  The final score being 16 - 2.  

Personally, I think Adam just got confused and thought that he was already playing in the Shots Competition (which starts on Fri 31st Jan).

EL Knockout round 1

Congratulations to Aberlady and East Linton as the winners who will go forward to play each other in the Semi Final on 16th Feb at 3pm.  There they will join Yester and Dirleton who got byes and will play in the other Semi.  The Final will be played straight after at 5.15pm.

The very experienced Athelstaneford side, played aggressively were beaten by a much younger and laid back team from Aberlady.

Good luck to the surviving four teams.

Happy New Year Steak Pies

 

In the club's first outing of the New Year it was perhaps appropriate for Team McOmish to secure The Thirds Crown.  It was a game of two halves, but Team John including John Good, Gavin Morton and the hybrid Maguire/Wood came out of the blocks strongly.  They secured the first four ends before conceding the last three.  As a result with wins in their first three games and faltering of the opposition win the first Pies of 2025. (with a game still in hand)
