Doubles Competition

A big thank you to Mike Wood for successfully running our inaugural Doubles competition, which we decided to run in lieu of our usual Pairs Competition.  By all accounts this was successful and enjoyed by all the participants.
Congratulations to John Good and Rosie Clark who are our inaugural Doubles Champions (don't expect a new trophy).  They beat Cathy Maclean and Justyna Konowrocka in a tight 3 - 2 final.  Cathy and Justyna will collect the 'Low Road/Runners Up' Trophy.
In third/fourth place play off,  Sheena and Alasdair beat Julia and Andrew 5 - 3

Trophy Competition is Go.....

The Trophy Competition got off to a good start last night with two interesting games.
The first, a rematch of Monday's Knockout Final saw Julia getting her sweet revenge by beating the Callander Squad 6 - 4 (although they were all square after six ends!).
The other game saw Mike's three man squad, skipped by supersub Karen against the three man Team Maguire.  The tactical absence of Graeme's team from the Knockout left them fresh and enabled them to run our 6 - 3 winners.
The players then adjourned to the bar where 'someone' had a lot of marshmallows in their chocolate.

Knockout

After initial wins by Dale's and Julia's teams they lined up for the final looking in relaxed mood.
Julia being one player short got off to a poor start with Dale's team getting away to a 5 - 0 start after two ends.  Julia fought back by taking the next two ends to leave her trailing 5 - 4.  Scoring back to back ends again in the final two ends of the game leveled the score at 6 - 6 to set up a Draw the Shot, winner take all, challenge.
With an audience from the Haddington players on the adjacent rinks Julia played first.  Her shot ran slightly too deep and stopped at the back of the house.  Dale then took his turn and held his nerve calling the anxious sweepers off to make a perfect (unswept) draw completely covering the button to take the applause and competition.
(Sorry Dale, no steak pies for this one!)
Congratulations to Dale, Pam, Rosie and Andrew - our season's first winners.
