Robert Boyd wins Kirkbride Rosebowl - Day League D Report

Robert Boyd and his rink of Jimmy Niblock, Bert McKay and Jim Dunlop won the Kirkbride Rosebowl last night, beating Peter Galloway's rink by 7 shots to 6.

The losing skip has commented

"It was a hard fought game played in the best of Gangrels fashion with each end coming down to the Skips having to do something special to secure the end and in Robert's case that also won the competition!"

Congratulations are also due to Peter for qualifying for the Day League D Knock Out Final. Yesterday at lunchtime, along with Euan Lawrence, Richard Morrison and Donald Cattenach, they beat Troon Portland by 7 shots to 3.  

The team have had an excellent year, winning 6 out of their 7 games in League D, thereby winning the League and gaining promotion to Division C next year. Congratulations to all for a magnificent performance.

Euan is Runner up in Masters


Congratulations to Euan Lawrence on finishing 2nd in the National Masters competition at Greenacres.
Euan was third to Gavin Hamilton and along with Robert Wilson and George McNaughton they won their section in the finals and then their semi final against Robin Aitken.
The final was a very close affair but they eventually lost out to the experienced Keith Prentice team.

Above you can see them being presented with their prizes by RCCC Ladies President Jan Howard.

Ken Ross wins President's Cup

Bob Cherry skipped Ken Ross's team, with Francis McCrossin and Euan Lawrence, last night in a hard fought game to finish their campaign for the President's Cup.

Needing only a point to win the trophy they played some good curling and finished at 5 shots all against Steel McFadzean who was skipping the Morrison Rink.

Peter Galloway beat Ernest Mutter by a narrow 4 shots to 3 and while he was thus level on points with Ken, he finished on 18 ends won against 24 for the trophy winners.

In the other game Jimmy Begg skipped the Reynolds rink to a 9-4 victory over Jimmy Niblock and the Boyd team.  

The final table is here.
