Trophy at 50%

There are no run away winners, so far, with all teams having suffered at least 1 defeat.  Team Mike Wood heads the pack, supported by new member Tegan with 2 wins and a defaulted game.  Father and Son skips were obviously not 'working together' and took points off each other leaving Team Nicoll Jnr in second slot, 1 point behind Mike.  Team Maguire, however got off to a slow start, only fielding three players in their first three games by coming back strongly to in their last 2 games, leaving then two points off the pace, with team Nicoll Snr snapping at their heels.  Meanwhile Team Good sits strongly (holding the rest of the teams up) and suffering badly for their forfeited game, where they actually beat out leaders.
Hopefully the second half of the competition will be as entertaining as the first !

Normal Service - Resumed

Apologies for having missed the start of the season, for reasons of motorbiking pleasure.
I have now returned and will be updating the site as normal.  I am trying to catch up with the results of the games that I have missed and will update them when I get the score cards.
In the Meantime.

Knockout
Mike v Sandy
Mike suffering from a first time failure of the (now scrapped) Rota system, took on Sandy short handed.  A score of 4 for Sandy in the third end seemed to halt Team Woods resistance and Sandy went on to record a 10 - 4 victory.
Lindsay v John G
Lindsay deputising for her dad, as is now traditional in the Knockout, had a tight fight against a short handed Team Good.  With John leading 6 - 3 after five ends, Linsday made good use of the last two ends to record an 8 - 6 victory
FINAL - Sandy v Lindsay
The final, between two previous winners, ensured that the KO would be won by a (born) Nicoll for the third successive year.  Team Sandy obviously had a point to prove with a dominant performance, although the feminine side of the family (is she still family, now she is married?) ensured that he couldn't score more than 2 per end. Team Sandy however restricted 'big sis' to a single end and took the title with a 7 - 1  scoreline. 
The Nicoll family should be warned, they have never won it 4 years in a row !
Congratulations to Sandy, Dave Wyllie, Cathy Maclean, Liz Nicoll/Alasdair Robertson
