Following the Masters at Greenacres over the weekend, the ice was in superb condition for the second round of the President's Cup League (GCC/A&A) and Crawford Cup (A&A) on Mon 2 Feb. Leading the way on Sheet A, A&A 2 (H Kennedy (S), J Shanks, G Todd, J Cherry) played A&A3 (D Graham (S)(sub R Wilson), K Ireland, L Wilson, D Haddow). A&A 3 opened the scoring but A&A 2 pulled back to have both sides peeling 3-3 at the end of the 4th. A&A 3 then took a well crafted steal of 4 followed by 2 singles in the last 2 ends to win 9-3.
On Sheet B, Gangrels 2 (P Galloway (S), J Niblock, R Charters, J Bloomfield (sub E Lawrence) were to tussle with Gangrels 3 (D Gray (S), G Watson (sub P Reynolds), F Hogg, A Henry. This was going to be a hard fought event and so it proved. Gangrels 2 took singles in the first 3 ends but Gangrels 3 replied in style by guarding their lying stones in the next 2 ends to lead 4-3 going in to the 6th and final end. With his last stone, David Gray drew superbly to sit on the button with little margin for removing. The last stone of the game was going to be crucial if a peel was to be secured, but while seeking to follow David's previous shot in to the house, it lacked that smidgen of weight to take the score. Gangrels 3 therefore won 5-3.
The overall results for the events is as shown.
