Ernest Mutter extends his lead

 Four games have been played and Ernest and his team have won all four.  Tonight's opponents were Willie Scott's team. They got off to a great start by scoring 3 shots in the first end, but somehow Ernest and his team of David Graham, Jimmy Begg and George Hay won all the rest and finished as  well deserved victors by 8 shots to 3.

Jimmy Niblock's team were also in good form and beat Gordon Todd by 6 shots to 2.

The third game, between the teams of Jim Dunlop and Peter Galloway was tied at 3 shots each after 4 ends. Jim then scored 1, 3 and 1 to win by 8 shots to 5.

Ernest is well ahead on 8 points, but the other 5 teams  are all very close.  The table can be found here.

 

Ernest's Good Run Continues

They scored 4, 2 and 1 in the first three ends, gave up a 4 in end 4 and then scored 2,2 and 1 in the last 3 ends.  A fairly comprehensive win.

Opening Day 2022

The club gathered at the start of our new season, ready for Hon President Jim Lyburn to throw the first stone.

Jim certainly hasn't lost any of his style.

Then the games began, and there were some big scores.  Jimmy Niblock was 6-2 up after four ends and kept his foot on the throttle to beat Jim Dunlop 10-3.

Ernest Mutter also started well, but it was only in the second half of his game that he drew away from Peter Galloway to win by 9 shots to 4.

The third game saw Gordon Todd start well, 7-3 up at the halfway stage against Willie Scott.  Time for a fightback?  Regretably not, and Gordon won the game 12-3.
