Only top three can win President's Cup

There were big wins last night for Ken Ross and Peter Galloway, who now take the top two positions in the league. Much closer was the game between Robert Boyd and Ernest Mutter, which was tied at 5 all in the last end.  Robert Charters just failed with his last stone, leaving Robert Boyd's team the victor.

Ken Ross is on 6 points, Peter Galloway on 5 and Robert Boyd on 4 and any one of the three could win next week , although Robert would need a lot of ends and the other two to lose. Richard Morrison is also on 4 points but doesn't have enough ends to compete.
The league table is here.

President's Cup Week 3

Peter Galloway and Peter Reynolds had a hard fought draw tonight, with a final score of 6 shots all.

Ken Ross's team beat Robert Boyd's by 6 shots to 3 and in the other game, Richard Morrison's team took 5 shots in the last two ends to beat Ernest Mutter by 7 shots to 6.

See the table here.

President's Cup Week 2

If you have a look at the table following tonight's games, which you can see here, you'll see that things are fairly close.

The three teams that lost last week won this week, and the three who won last week lost this week.

So the net result is that everyone has two points, having won one game and lost one game.

All to play for......

President's Cup

Tonight saw the first round of this year's President's Cup. This is the competition where Skips play as lead and everyone else moves up the rink.  To avoid complications I shall refer to the teams by their normal skip name and apologise to the thirds who really are the ones who count.

This year the competition is being  run as a league where the teams play 5 games against the others.
Tonight's games saw big wins for the Peter Reynolds, Robert Boyd and Ken Ross rinks over Richard Morrison, Peter Galloway and Ernest Mutter.

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.
