Fraser Cup Round 10
In nautical terms, Port is red and Starboard is green but in tonight's final round of the Fraser Cup at the Galleon, it was a whitewash! Team Port (Watson, Cherry, Gegg and McFadzean) sailed a course against Team Starboard (Galloway, Charters, Hogg and Morrison) which was true team event, incisive and achieved the result they aimed for.
Six ends were played on good ice and all were won by Team Port, even when Team Starboard thought they were well placed to break their duck, the measure determined otherwise! Team Port left the ice with their heads held high with a final win of 9-0 and an impressive overall total points win for the Fraser Cup. The results are shown here or click on the link opposite.

FRASER CUP ROUND 9 REPORT
Team Port (Watson, Begg and Cherry - Stubley still injured from his fall 2 weeks ago) continued its relentless quest for supremacy in the Fraser Cup against Team Starboard (Galloway, Charters, Peat and McFadzean) in the 9th round yesterday afternoon at the Galleon.
The ice was in fine condition and with 4 Rinks from A&A also playing at the same time as us followed by Rinks from Tarbolton and Symington, it was quite like the recent past when playing at Ayr! This was a close game initially on pleasingly keen and swingy ice which Team Port got the measure of very quickly and were 4-3 in the lead at the fifth end. Team Starboard thought they had secured a well hidden peel in the 6th end with just a hint of their lying stone showing behind 2 of Ports' but a superb back weight last stone from President Gillian ended that hope with them scoring 2.
They went on to take another 2 in the last end to win 8-3. One final round of the Fraser Cup to go on Tue 12 Dec at 1500. The results table is shown here or click on the side panel.
