pAUL AND ALASTAIR C CLINCH PAIRS TITLE
Paul and Alastair C came from 4-2 down to beat John and Luisella in the pairs final 7-4 having scored a four in the sixth end. Apparently, Paul was not welcome in the Mosely household for several days thereafter!
Club pipped (again) in the cairns elder
Crosmyloof CC retained the trophy with a last end 7-6 victory on 28th November. Their team included two Wheelchair Olympic veterans whose take-outs and guards were deadly. Tea, coffee and snacks were enjoyed upstairs after the match and we swore to win the trophy , which has been competed for since 1961, back next year.
MIXED FORTUNES IN DUNN TROPHY
Jim Marshall (Skip), John Brisbane, Alan Watt and Rory Mackenzie were narrowly defeated by Kilsyth in the finall of the Province Knockout on 18th October 2023. Leading 6 - 5 at the last end Jim managed to tap up onto the button with his last stone to lie one but Kilsyth's Skip played a marvellous strike to spring Jim's stone and lie three.
TEAM AINSLIE WIN THE MCWATTIE UNDEFEATEDWith the conclusion of the McWattie games on Monday 9th October the scoreboard was left with every team having won one game with the exception of team Ainslie who were unbeaten across all games. So the trophy winners are Norman, Paul, Sally-Ann and Craig. There were numerous substitutes across every game so results varied widely. See the scoreboard here.
out of forth valley knockoutSadly we did not handle the swingy ice in the NCA against Gargunnock. it took us 3 ends to get on the score sheet we made a fight back but needed a 2 against the hammer in the last end we had 2 counting and one for a measure in the last end when there 3rd drew to the button as she had done all night so we lost a 1 and the match 8-5 i think they had better knowledge of the swing as they play all there club matches in the NC
opening bonspiel Winners Alan Hadden, Norman Ainslie and Craig Kyle 4 ends 9 shotsThere was a lot of churn regarding players and substitutes over the days preceding the match right up to play. A much reduced turnout forced a makeshift competition.
Good effort in doune rosebowlThe Club came second out of 12 teams in the Doune Rosebowl on the 6th september in the evening and third out of 22 teams in the overall competition. Kilsyth came first and second in the overall rankings. Jim skipped with Luisella, Paul and Alan W in his team. Good start to the season for us.
