Drew Duncan Quaich

 "The last Club competition of 2025, the Drew Duncan Quaich, took place at Greenacres on Mon 15 Dec with 4 Rinks participating.  This event involved playing 8 Ends with each member of the Rinks playing 2 Ends in each of the  Rink positions (Lead, Second, Third and Skip) in rotation.  Rink 1 (Charters, Cattanach, Watson, Cherry) faced a reduced Rink 2 (McFadzean, Gray, Stubley) who were missing a player due to sudden compassionate circumstances but David Stubley's return fitness to play, especially at short notice, was very welcome.  Sheet D suited Rink 1 who took charge from the outset and scored in every End, other than the 3rd, to close the game 15-2 winners.  On Sheet C, Rink 3 (Chapman, Hogg, Todd, Peat) were against Rink 4 (Graham, Mutter, Niblock, Galloway) with play results much more closely matched.  Rink 4 opened the scoring and were 5-1in the lead by the midway point but Rink 3 replied by taking 2 singles in the 6th and 8th Ends to allow Rink 4 to shake hands as winners 8-3 over 5 Ends.  No scores had been recorded on the scoreboards during the games so no-one was aware of progress throughout the games or the endings."

Once the scorecards had been scutinised, the overall winners were declared as Rink 1 (R. Charters, D. Cattanach, G. Watson, B Cherry) who were congratulated on their prowess and will be awarded the trophy at the AGM on Mon 23 Mar 26.
