Euan Lawrence had Donald Cattenach and Bella Kennedy subbing for him this evening and along with Robert Boyd they had a comfortable victory over Bob Cherry.

Tied at 3 shots each after 5 ends, a steal of 1 at the 6th end and another 3 at the 7th resulted in victory for David's team, skipped by Ronnie Peat, against Robert Charters.

The final is at 5.00 pm next Monday.

Kirkbride Rosebowl Round 1

There were some very close games tonight and at one point it seemed likely that two of the games would end in ties.  However, Bob Cherry played an immaculate freeze to one of Richard Morrison's stones and won the game by 7 shots to 4.

They were outscored, however, by Robert Charters. He was in sparkling form and had a great victory, by 9 shots to 1, over Jimmy Begg.

The closest game turned out to be that between Euan Lawrence and David Hope. David was two shots down at the last end, but lay two well hidden stones .They were enough to secure a drawn game and both teams qualified for round two.

Next games are next Monday at 5.00pm. (Time changed from 6.00)

Robert Charters will play David Hope and Bob Cherry wll play Euan Lawrence.

The full draw is here.

Gangrels Retain the Wilkie Trophy

Our annual match against Tarbolton was once again a close affair. In President Richard's absence (some excuse about a Caribean Cruise), David Hope skipped his rink of Robert Boyd, Ronnie Peat and Simon Bloomfield. Losing a three at the first end wasn't the best of starts against the Tarbolton rink skippd by Jim Wilson, but they gradually fought back, only to lose another three. Eventually they had to settle for a loss by 8 shots to 5.

Luckily, the other Gangrels Rink was better placed. Peter Reynolds, Peter Galloway, Bob Cherry and Ernest Mutter seemed always to be in control of their game. Their final score was a win by 8 shots to 3, and the final score was 13 - 11 to Gangrels.

Highest Up rink with the Wilkie Trophy
After an excellent meal, Peter Reynolds thanked the Tarbolton players for two good games and celebrated the fact the Gangrels were edging closer to Tarbolton in the overall record

It was a closely fought game, with Ronnie 4-3 up after 4 ends. However, a score of 3 at the 5th gave them the lead they protected to the end.

Anne Hay had a good victory, also by 8 shots to 4, over the Euan Lawrence rink, skipped by Peter Reynolds.  Anne, Jim Dunlop, David Gray and Jimmy Begg took second place  and consigned Peter's team to 5th.
