President Peter Reynolds had a few words of wisdom before the start of the playing season for Gangrels.
The three games started thereafter and we soon worked out where to stand when not sweeping and attempting to maintain our social distancing. Despite the restrictions, it was good to be back curling.
Peter Galloway's team wasted no time in picking up form. They won 6 of the 7 ends against Ken Ross and finished up by 12 shots to 1. Impressive stuff!
Francis McCrossin's team also started well. Their game against Peter Reynolds was tied at 3 shots each after 4 ends, but Francis scored 5 shots in the remaining ends to finish comfortably ahead.
The third game, between David Gray and Ronnie Peat, was close. Ronnie's team went 4 shots up after 2 ends but then lost the next three to be 7-4 down. They won the next two ends, but only with singles and lost by 7-6 at the close.
The league table is here.
Earlier in the day, Peter Galloway skipped Ronnie Peat, Ernest Mutter and Jimmy Niblock to a close victory over Troon Portland in the first game of the Ross Low Trophy.
