Province Knock-Out

Andrew Kerr's report on the Province K/O Final.

Thursday 12th March saw the culmination of this season’s Province Knock Out competition with the current national holders, Stewarton Heather, taking on Gangrels who had taken the scalp of, amongst others, a strong Sorn rink on their march to the final.

The Gangrels underdogs were not fazed up against the reigning champions and it was only in the latter stages of the game that Stewarton managed to put some daylight between the scores. A final result of 6-3 in Stewarton’s favour shows what a very commendable performance was put in by the Gangrels rink skipped by David Hope with Peter Galloway, Ken Ross and Peter Reynolds.

However, it will be the Stewarton Heather rink of David Mundell, Alan Smith, Alex Wilson and Province Vice President Dougie Reid which will represent Ayrshire Province next season in the National Championship at Greenacres.

David and Robert win Pairs Competition

In a very close final, decided by a fraction of an inch, David Gray and Robert Charters beat Robert Boyd and Bob Cherry in the Pairs Competition tonight.

They had won against Peter Kennedy and Ken Ross in their semi - final, with David having some great draw shots.

Robert and Bob had also played well, although they were a trifle fortunate to beat Steel McFadzean and Ernest Mutter in their semi.

Overall it was an excellent night, well organised by our secretary Peter.

Kirkbride Rosebowl Final

A close and entertaining game, according to the  watching audience - President Richard and Secretary Peter.

David Hope's team started well and were three up after two ends, but an unlucky last shot at the third changed a further two to David into two for Bella Kennedy.

Bella was subbing at skip for Euan and never looked back, eventually winning the game by 6 shots to 4.

Congratulations to Bella, Peter Reynolds, Robert Boyd and Gillian Watson.
