The second round of the mini league with A&A took place at Greenacres on Mon 11 Nov with the Gangrels 2 and 1 lying first and second respectively on the league table after the first round. However, like the weather, change was in the air!
Gangrels 1 (Peat (S), Niblock, Cherry, Cattanach) faced A&A2 (Mitchell (S), Ireland, J. Cherry, A Chapman) on Sheet A but did not fare well despite an encouraging first 2 ends. A&A2 crept ahead over the following 3 ends to lead 6-1 by the end of the 5th. Gangrels took a single at 6th end but then lost the 7th end to cumulatively come second 2-8 at the bell.
On the adjacent Sheet B, Gangrels 2, Lawrence (S), Reynolds, Galloway, Charters) won the toss against A&A1 (Baines (S), Wilson, H. Kennedy, Haddow) but lost the first end. Wins in the second and third ends saw Gangrels 1 edge ahead to lead 5-2. A&A1 recovered their poise to take the next 2 ends with single shots which stung the Gangrels to win the next 2 ends to lead 8-4 at the end of the 7th. In the final end, A&A1 were lying 4 to peel and despite seeking to guard their position, in the best of Skip performances under duress, Euan pegged the loss to 1 to then shake hands 8-5 winners.
