After a break last year following the closure of Ayr Ice Rink, 4 mixed Rinks from the Gangrels and Berisford Ladies gathered on the excellent facilities at Greenacres on Wed 6 Nov to revive the social but competitive nature of this combined gender event. Team Cherry (Cherry (S), Branch (BL), Cattanach, Butler (BL)) were set against Team Macdonald (G Macdonald (S)(BL), Graham, McCandless (BL) , Niblock) on Sheet A and took an early small lead but were soon reigned in by good counter scores in the next 4 ends to be trailing 3-11 by the 7th end. Successes in the last 2 ends produced a final score of 5-11.
On Sheet B, Team Galloway (Galloway(S), McTimpany (BL), Hogg, Arnott (BL)) had a bad start against Team Morton (J Morton (BL), Begg, Naismith (BL), Charters) by losing a 5 on the first end and failing to recover sufficiently against superior play in the remaining ends to finally shake hands losing 4-10.
A very pleasant snack lunch of 2 choice soups, a variety of fresh plated sandwiches and hot drinks was enjoyed by all as was the opportunity to re-establish friendships, create new ones and have a good chin-wag! Presidents Anne and Donald thanked all the participants for their spirited performances and also the catering staff for their service and the much appreciated food and drink. President Donald then announced the overall winner as Team Morton. The results table is shown here and photographs of the winning Rink and all players are also shown."
