Drew Duncan Quaich Results

The Drew Duncan Quaich was back in its usual spot before Christmas and it provided an exceptionally close result.

President Richard and his team of George Hay, Peter Galloway and Jimmy Niblock took 3s at the 3rd and 4th ends to build up a sizeable lead and eventually finished up by 8 shots, beating Bob Cherry's rink 11-3.

On the adjacent rink David Hope's team of Ronnie Peat and Gordon Todd (Steel was AWOL playing for Kirkoswald on sheet 1) were struggling against Ronnie Wilson. After 5 ends they were  down by seven shots to 4, but a 7 at the 6th end and steals of 2 twos thereafter meant a final score of 15-7 and another win by 8 shots.

The third game was the clash between Euan Lawrence and Jimmy Begg, the top two teams in the Frame Salver.  Euan was scoring in the odd ends and Jimmy in the even ends, but Euan had two fours and a three, while Jimmy had two singles and a two.  The final score to Euan, Peter Reynolds, Robert Boyd and Gillian Watson was 13-4, up by 9 shots and just pipping the other winners.

Congratulations (yawn!) again to Euan and his team.

Fraser Cup - Final Games

Tonight saw the final games of the Fraser Cup. Euan Lawrence and his team of Gillian Watson, Robert Boyd and Peter Reynolds had already secured the trophy last week, but tonight they were against their closest challengers and a certain amount of pride was at stake  Could Euan remain unbeaten or would Jimmy get some revenge for losing to the leaders in their earlier game?

It was certainly a close game with the scores tied at 4 shots all at the start of the final end.  Euan had the last stone and scored a single to win 5-4 and finish the season with 19 points out of 20 - a fantastic performance.

Elsewhere, David Hope beat Richard Morrison by 8 shots to 5 to remain in third place and Ronnie Wilson skipped the Charters team to a 10-5 victory over Bob Cherry.

The final table is here.

Our games next Monday will be for the Drew Duncan Quaich at 5.00 pm. 
This is played over 8 ends with each player taking a turn at skipping for two ends.
The order of play is the finishing order of the Fraser Cup and the games are thus:

Euan Lawrence  v  Jimmy Begg (again!)
David Hope        v   Robert Charters
Bob Cherry        v   Richard Morrison
