Drew Duncan Quaich

Last night saw us play our annual bonspiel for the Drew Duncan Quaich.

The winning teams were Jimmy Niblock, who skipped Robert Boyd's team, Ken Ross and Jimmy Begg, who skipped Peter Reynolds' team.  Jimmy had the highest up total of +6 shots.

Everyone had a shot at skipping and it proved to be a very convivial night, with a good meal from Passion Caterers afterwards.

The results are here.

Ken Ross wins Fraser Cup

Congratulations go to Ken Ross and his team of Bob Cherry, Euan Lawrence and Francis McCrossin. Despite losing  8- 5 to Richard Morrison's team tonight they comfortably stayed in front of Peter Galloway's team, who finished second.
Ken had set the pace by winning the first 5 games and had never looked in danger. A well deserved victory.

There was also a win tonight for Ernest Mutter, who beat Peter Galloway by 5 shots to 4.

Robert Boyd and Peter Reynolds both were missing from the games tonight but the teams finished tied at 8 shots each in an exciting game.

The final league table is here.

Next week at 5.00 we play for the Drew Duncan Quaich.
The games are decided by the finishing positions in the Fraser Cup, so the games will be:

Ken Ross             v   Peter Galloway
Robert Boyd         v   Ernest Mutter
Richard Morrison  v  Peter Reynolds

There will be a meal after the game.

Ken Ross consolidates at Top of League

We can't give the trophy yet to Ken Ross and his team but it'll take some amazing results next week for him not to triumph.

Ken's team of Bob Cherry, Euan Lawrence and Francis McCrossin have now won 7 games out of 9 and thus have 14 points. In second place are Peter Galloway's rink of David Gray, Austin Thomson and Peter Kennedy with 12 points.

Ken has won 44 ends and Peter 37 so Peter has to win 8 ends next Monday and hope that Ken wins none! Well you ever know, but as Steell and George found out at the races today you would get good odds against it.

The table is here.

Can I also point out that we have now updated the website to include the minutes from last year's AGM.  Follow the link to the right of this page or if you prefer, click here.

It's getting closer at Top of League

There were wins last night from Robert Boyd and Peter Galloway which took both teams to 10 points.

Ken Ross lost to Robert and this means that the top three teams are separated by only two points, with  two games to play.

At the other end of the table, Steel McFadzean skipped Richard's team to a 6-3 victory over Ernest, who retains 4th place, but only by one end.

The table is here

Week 7 Results

Normal Service has now been resumed, with wins for Ken Ross, Robert Boyd and Ernest Mutter.

Ken now leads the league table with 12 points.  Robert and Peter Galloway are both on 8 points and the other three teams are fighting for the lower places.

The table is here.

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!
