There were two big wins tonight, but League Leaders George Hay suffered in a very close game with Ernest Mutter. Three singles in the first three ends had set things up well for George, but the loss of a 4 at the fourth end was to prove crucial. The Morrison rink took a two at the 5th to regain the lead but lost a single at the 6th. A steal of one by Ernest at the last end won the points for Ronnie Wilson's team and knocked George off the top of the league table.
Back on top of the table are the Hope team, skipped by Ronnie Peat. They had an 8-1 victory over Peter Reynolds, Euan Lawrence Robert Boyd and Donald Cattenach.
The third game also had a big victory, with Anne Hay continiung her good form for Jimmy Begg's team by winning 9-1 against Francis McCrossin.
The final games are next week. Geroge Hay and Ronnie Peat play each other in a winner takes all game. The league table can be found here.

A great night for the Hays
George Hay had a great win tonight over Francis McCrossin by 7 shots to 2 to take sole ownership of the topspot in the President's Cup.
In the adjoining rink Anne Hay was also having a great game and built up a 6 -1 lead over Ronnie Peat after 5 ends. There was a wobble in end 6 when Ronnie took 5 shots to level the game, but Anne played a controlled runback to score the winning shot.
Ernest Mutter also built up a sizable lead over Peter Reynolds, but Peter scored 3 at the last to win by 6 shots to 5.
The league table, here, shows George's Morrison rink unbeaten after 3 games. Following on are two teams on 4 points, two on 2 points and Bob Cherry's team still to break their duck.

Two teams still unbeaten in President's Cup
Current leader Ronnie Peat skipped the Hope rink to an 11-2 victory over Francis McCrossin (Bob Cherry) to remain in first place.
In second place sits the rink of President Richard Morrison. George Hay is in charge here and he had the distiction of being the first skip to beat the Euan Lawrence combo this season. Seven shots to one ahead after 4 ends, George kept his cool and scored a 4 at the last to win by 11 shots to 3 against Peter Reynolds.
The third game saw a strong finish by Ernest Mutter and the Wilson team. His team was well down against Anne Hay, by 7 shots to 2. However, scores of 2 and 5 gave them a 9-7 victory. Commiserations to Anne and her team. We've all been there!

President's Cup Week 1
The President's Cup is the competition where skips play lead and everyone else moves up. This works well but usually causes me to get confused when posting results. I have yet again opted to have the teams described under the normal skips name. I will try to name the actual skips in the narrative part of the website and if I get it wrong, please excuse me.
The closest game tonight was a narrow 5-4 win by Peter Reynolds, skipping the Euan Lawrence rink, over Francis McCrossin, who skipped the Bob Cherry team.
George Hay skipped the Richard Morrison team to a 9-3 victory over Jimmy Begg. Not sure who was skipping Jimmy tonight. The card showed Anne Hay, but she wasn't well so perhaps it was Jim Dunlop. (Must get our secretary to remind seconds not to prepare cards prior to game, or at least to check that everyone has turned up. Oh wait, Peter was the second in that game!)
In the third game, Ronnie Peat skipped David Hope's team to a 12-0 victory over Ronnie Wilson's team. Ronnie W was away and his third had no luck at all.
