Fraser Cup Week 6

Now you all thought I was havering when I suggested that if every game in the return fixtures went the other way, we would all finish equal.  Read on....

Ken Ross, having beaten Ernest Mutter well in the opening game, lost to Ernest Mutter by 8 shots to 6.
Robert Boyd, having beaten Peter Galloway in the opening game, lost to Peter Galloway by 8 shots to 5.
Peter Reynolds, having beaten Richard Morrison in the opening game, lost to Richard Morrison by 6 shots to 2.

Spooky eh?

Here is the table.

Fraser Cup - Halfway Stage

5 games played and 5 games to play - we have reached the halfway stage.

Leading the way is Ken Ross who had an 8-2 victory over Steell McFadzean, skipping Richard Morrison's team.

Peter Galloway and Robert Boyd also had close games with Peter winning 7-6 over Ernest and Robert pulling away with 4 shots over the last two ends to beat Jimmy Begg, skipping Peter Reynolds rink by 12 shots to 8.

The league table is here and I suppose nobody is out of it yet. If the reverse fixtures go the other way then everyone will finish on 10 points. That would be interesting!

Ken Ross Sets the Pace

Good to see that our President Ken Ross is taking his responsibilities seriously and is showing everyone else a clean pair of heels in the Fraser Cup. Four games played - four wins!

Mind you it's a long competition this year and he has to play everyone twice. Scope for revenge, perhaps?

Last night his team of Bob Cherry, Euan Lawrence and Francis McCrossin beat Peter Reynolds team by 6 shots to 3.  There were also wins for Robert Boyd and Peter Galloway.

Fraser Cup - Week 3

It was a night for big victories, and the biggest was from Peter Galloway's team who beat Peter Reynolds by 12 shots to Nil.

In the other games, Ken Ross took a 5 at the last end to win by 11 shots to 8 and Ernest Mutter won by 11 shots to 5.

Week 2 Results

President Ken is continuing his good form. Having scored 6 ends last week, he's only gone and done it again, this time beating Peter Galloway 10-1.
In the other games, Richard Morrison beat Robert Boyd 5-4 in a tight and good game, while Peter Reynolds won his second game by 8 shots to 5 over Ernest.

2016-17 Season is Now Underway

The first games in this year's Fraser Cup heralded the official start of Gangrels New Season yesterday. This despite already having had a good training session, a game against the Disney Club and a good win for each of our Day League Teams.

We were delighted to see Honorary President Roy Penney in attendance as President Ken Ross threw the first stone.  Ken was obviously saving his expertise for the game afterwards, when he leapt to the top of the league with a 9-3 win over Ernest Mutter.

Unfortunately your correspondent somehow managed to take out of focus shots 4 times last night so no photos to mark the occasion.

There were good wins also for Robert Boyd and Peter Reynolds.
