Drew Duncan Quaich



The winning team in this year's Drew Duncan Quaich was skipped for two ends by Richard Morrison. The other skips, who each took charge for two ends, were Jimmy Niblock, David Hope and Jim Dunlop.  David and Jimmy have managed to get in the picture above so here is a picture of Jim that I happened to take earlier this evening.



The picture was taken before the game - it must have been written in the stars, Jim! 

As you can see from the first picture, Ernest seems to be presenting Richard with his score card, and that, m'lud, is the case for the defence in not having the scores published tonight.

All I can add is that the winning margin was described (I think by Richard) as umpteen.

Final League Positions - Fraser Cup

A 14 - 2 win for Peter Reynolds team last night brought them within one point of Robert Boyd's team, who only managed to draw their last game.

Actually, there's more to the story than that  The highlight should be that Richard Morrison's team scored four shots at the last end to peel the game at 6 shots all.

Congratulations therefore go to Robert and his team of Bob Cherry, Anne Hay and Peter Galloway. 

If Robert had been there last night there would have been a photo of the winning rink, but that will have to wait a week.

In the other game David Gray came from behind (again) to win by 8 shots to 3 against Ernest  Mutter.

The final positions are here.

Robert Boyd's team wins the Fraser Cup

Robert Boyd's team of Bob Cherry, Anne Hay and Peter Galloway beat Peter Kennedy's rink by 12 shots to 2 and now cannot be caught in the Fraser Cup.

Although Peter Reynolds won a tight game against David Gray by 8 shots to 6 to stay just 2 points behind Robert, he would need to win and score 12 more ends in the final league game to take the trophy. Even Peter would not manage that!

The third game was a victory for Ernest Mutter's team over Richard Morrison.

The league table is here

A reminder that next week's game is at 8.45, but the week after that is the Drew Duncan Quaich at 5.00 pm.
