The annual Wilkie Trophy match against Tarbolton was played at Greenaces on Mon 19 Jan. This trophy was presented by Ian Wilkie of Tarbolton CC in 2002 and has been competed for annually except during COVID closure of Ayr Ice Rink. During this period, Tarbolton has won it 12 times and Gangrels 10 so today's game, if won, could close the gap! Gangrels 1 (R Peat (S), S McFadzean, J Niblock, D Cattanach) lead the charge on Sheet A against Tarbolton 1 (C Van Hadegan (S), N Mackie, C Clow, N Lambie) but did not fare well to eventually lose 5-10. On Sheet B, Gangrels 2 (E Lawrence (S), P Galloway, D Graham, D Stubley) sought to subdue Tarbolton 2 (G Hunter (S), D McNaught, G MacQuarrie, J Muirhead) after they surged in to a 5 shot lead after 3 ends. This they did by scoring well in the 4th and 5th ends to finally win 10-7. As the winning score was to be based on cumulative shots up, Tarbolton won the Wilkie Trophy by 2 shots. Custody of the handsomely turned wooden trophy was transferred to Tarbolton's President Carlos until the next meeting in Jan 2008.
