Kirkbride Rosebowl Final

Having let his trusty lieutenant Jimmy Niblock guide his team though the early rounds of the Kirkbride Rosebowl, Richard Morrison returned to lead them to victory over Robert Boyd's team.

After 5 ends the Morrison team lead by three shots to two, but scores of two and then three at ends 6 and 7 secured the win.

Congratulations to Richard, Robert Charters, David Gray and Bill Inglis on a great performance.

Annual Match v Tarbolton

The Wilkie Trophy is awarded annually for the game between Gangrels and Tarbolton. Over the 15 or so years that the game has been played, Tarbolton have featured far more regularly in the engraved winners than Gangrels, so it's great to report that this year the Gangrels won.

Our team of Ernest Mutter, Peter Galloway, David Hope and Jimmy Niblock had a very close game, losing a two at the last end to finish down by 6 shots to 5.

The other team of Ronnie Peat, Robert Boyd, David Gray and Willie Scott had an equally close game.  However, they managed to score 4 shots, in a well controlled last end, to finish winners by 9 shots to 5.

The Highest Up rink with the Wilkie Trophy

Kirkbride Rosebowl

A busy night for Gangrels, with the preliminary round of the Province Knockout competition being played at the same time as the first round games in the Kirkbride Rosebowl.

I huge thank you to all those who assisted by filling in where team members were required to play against Crosshill - unfortunately this problem will not arise in future because we were up against a strong team and finished a clear second.

In the Kirkbride, Robert Boyd finished 9 shots up and claimed the direct route to the final on 26th February.

The two semi finalists will be the teams skipped by Richard Morrison and Peter Reynolds.

The draw is here.
