President's Cup is Underway

Performance of the year so far is from George Hodge who skipped Peter Kennedy's team to a 12 -1 victory over Ernest Mutter, skipped by Austin Thomson.

Bob Cherry scored 5 shots in the last 4 ends to beat Euan Lawrence by one shot and Jimmy Niblock beat Robert Charters by 7 shots to 5 in a good well-fought encounter.

Drew Duncan Quaich

The winning team in this year's Drew Duncan Quaich was skipped for two ends by Richard Morrison. The other skips, who each took charge for two ends, were Jimmy Niblock, David Hope and Jim Dunlop.  David and Jimmy have managed to get in the picture above so here is a picture of Jim that I happened to take earlier this evening.

The picture was taken before the game - it must have been written in the stars, Jim! 

As you can see from the first picture, Ernest seems to be presenting Richard with his score card, and that, m'lud, is the case for the defence in not having the scores published tonight.

All I can add is that the winning margin was described (I think by Richard) as umpteen.

Final League Positions - Fraser Cup

A 14 - 2 win for Peter Reynolds team last night brought them within one point of Robert Boyd's team, who only managed to draw their last game.

Actually, there's more to the story than that  The highlight should be that Richard Morrison's team scored four shots at the last end to peel the game at 6 shots all.

Congratulations therefore go to Robert and his team of Bob Cherry, Anne Hay and Peter Galloway. 

If Robert had been there last night there would have been a photo of the winning rink, but that will have to wait a week.

In the other game David Gray came from behind (again) to win by 8 shots to 3 against Ernest  Mutter.

The final positions are here.

Robert Boyd's team wins the Fraser Cup

Robert Boyd's team of Bob Cherry, Anne Hay and Peter Galloway beat Peter Kennedy's rink by 12 shots to 2 and now cannot be caught in the Fraser Cup.

Although Peter Reynolds won a tight game against David Gray by 8 shots to 6 to stay just 2 points behind Robert, he would need to win and score 12 more ends in the final league game to take the trophy. Even Peter would not manage that!

The third game was a victory for Ernest Mutter's team over Richard Morrison.

A reminder that next week's game is at 8.45, but the week after that is the Drew Duncan Quaich at 5.00 pm.

Title still up for grabs!

With two weeks remaining, Robert Boyd's team and Peter Reynold's team are both still in the hunt to win the league.

Robert had a 6-3 win over Ernest Mutter last night, while Euan Lawrence had a close game against Richard Morrison.  A four at the 6th end made the difference in an 8-5 win. All to play for.

The other game saw David Gray's team go 5 down after two ends but they fought back to win by 10 shots to 5.

The league table is here.

Two teams beginning to stretch away!

The main winners tonight were the teams skipped by Robert Boyd and Peter Reynolds.  Robert beat David Gray's team by 9 shots to 3 and Peter had a victory by 12 shots to 2 against Ernest Mutter's rink.

As a result, Robert now leads the Fraser Cup Table with 11 points and Peter is in second place with 9.

The other winner tonight was Jimmy Niblock, who skipped Richard Morrison's rink to a 6-4 victory over Peter Kennedy.  This result lets Richard join the teams in joint 3rd place with 6 points.

Week 6 - Fraser Cup

How things can change. The two winners tonight were Peter Kennedy and Richard Morrison- the teams previously sitting in positions 5 and 6 in the league.
Last week's fourth placed team was Peter Reynolds and he drew 6 shots all with Robert Boyd.

Robert's team still lead the league with 9 points but everyone seems to be a wee bit closer tonight.
