Morgan takes more Province Silverware

Congratulations to Morgan, supported by Sandy, Sheena and Dale for winning the East Lothian Province Bonspiel.  In the opening round, much to the delight of Sheena they inflicted a severe beating to Haddington 1 led by hubby, Dave.
After a brief lunch it was back to business inflicting a defeat to the second best team from the first round Yester.  Despite a last end come back by the opposition they held on to beat Johnny Shedden's Athelstaneford by a single shot and Dave Munro's Haddington (who had a good afternoon) into third place.

Nicolls - cashing it in

Aberlady Curling and the Nicoll family had a great start to 2014.

Commencing with an early start, Morgan and Dale battled their way through the competition to eventually run out the winners.  This is the first time Aberlady have won this competition and it is apt that Morgan should hold the trophy, which he donated to the Province three years ago.

After lunch Morgan was joined be a record 13 other members to contest the club Points Competition.

New member Raymond Preston was (literally) fast out of the hack and held a commanding lead after the first four exercises before his challenge wavered and Morgan started to recover from his mornings exertions. The full results can be seen on the 'results' page.  In this picture we see Dale, Morgan's partner from the morning handing over the brand new Points Trophy, which was generously donated by John Good.

To complete a great day for the Nicoll's, Lindsey took the Ladies title with an excellent score that saw her coming third in the overall points table,

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.
