Thirds Medal

The Thirds Medal competition got under way with new skip Sandy playing our Vice-President Dale.  It was a tight match all the way.  With the scores at 6 - 6 going in to the final end, Sandy was sitting pretty with a 3 until Dale, with his final shot found the perfect draw for a single and a 7 shots to 6 victory.

Another Peel

The final game of the Trophy competition pitted Morgan Nicoll against John Good with the loser destined to collect the wooden spoon.  In the event, there was no loser with the two teams coming up with a peel at 5 all.  Leaving Morgan to collect the kitchenware while John's team slips into the runner-up slot courtesy of their previous result against Mike.
The conclusion of the Trophy Competition also marks the half way mark in the Peter Allan Shield competition, which resumes with the results from our Shots League in February.
Next up is the Pairs competition on Sunday 11th November and the Thirds Medal which commences on Monday 19th November.

And the Trophy winner is.....

Congratulation to Graeme and his team of  Barbara, Sandy And Rosie (with support from Lindsay, Karen and Mike along the way) who fought a rearguard campaign against Mike's team in their last Trophy match.  Right on the bell, Graeme put his last stone 2 feet too heavy but never the less score a three which peeled the game and left them clear winners of the Trophy.
Now there is only the wooden spoon match to complete our second competition of the season.

Trophy Competition - underway

The Trophy competition got under way last night and a superb effort was made by all 8 players who managed to play 8 ends in the time allowed.
The game was between Mike's team and Morgan's team with Morgan taking first blood going 3 up after the first two ends.  Mike struck back with a 3 in the third with Morgan taking his one leaving the scores 4-3 after 4 ends.  The fifth end was to prove decisive with Mike scoring a whopping 6 and following that with a steal of 2.  The final ends were split one to each team leaving the final score line of 12 shots to 5 in Mike's favour.
