Stranraer Visit 15th February

Sixteen Gangrels made up 4 Rinks for the end of season social day's curling at North West Castle on Thu 15 Feb.  Despite a driech weather drive to the venue, everyone made it on time and spirits were soon lifted by the quality of ice, ambience, food and support overall which was, once again, first class.


The competition scoring was based on cumulative shots up with the morning Rinks being swopped for play on different sheets in the afternoon session.  Team Hogg (Hogg, Galloway, Wilson and Dunlop) faced Team Graham (Graham, Cattanach, Hope and McFadzean) while Team Niblock (Niblock, Watson, Peat and Mutter) played Team Gray (Gray, Reynolds, Cherry and Charters) in the morning session on sheets 3 and 4.  At the snack lunch break, Team Gray were an impressive 12 shots up with Team Graham contending in second place with +6.

After a most enjoyable lunch of homemade soup, filling fresh made sandwiches and tea/coffee, the Rinks moved back on to the ice on sheets 1 and 2 with the leaders Team Gray facing Team Graham and Team Hogg against Team Niblock.  The giant tussle on sheet 1 saw Team Graham overhaul the overall lead held by Team Gray to win by a cumulative +10 shots with Team Gray now in second place with +8.  President Gillian presented the prizes to the winning Rink.
