Gangrels
Match |
|
This was
a very close match with good curling on both sides. The two
games were peeled going into the last end and any one of the
4 skips had a chance of walking away with the trophy. It was
Tarbolton that stole shots in the last ends to win the match.
Colin presented the trophy to Willie, who was 3 shots up.

The Grudge
Match |
Carlos and Alan took to the ice with their motley crews for their
seemingly annual grudge match. Carlos won 12-4. Has that settled
the grudge or just left it to fester until next year? Watch this

Kyle
& Carrick |
Tarbolton rinks
skipped by George Hunter and Gordon Johnstone lost by wide margins
to K & C. Adam Prentice came out best in a tighter game against
Alec Murray. Looking on the bright side, there were plenty of sandwiches
and scones. |

Robert's rink
lost to Ayr and Alloway in the semifinal, with Graham Boyd playing
an excellent draw through a narrow port (or a very lucky one) to
steal one in the last end. A&A went on to lose convincingly
to Dundonald in the final. |
League |
Robert Struthers
needs a peel or a win to tie up the league (and could win on ends
without either). Results... |
