Ayrshire Province Medal
So Very Close!
Our two rinks, skipped by Peter Galloway and Bob Cherry nearly brought off a sensational victory in last night's Province Medal.
Here is Andrew Kerr's Report
Ten clubs entered this year's Province Medal and the final result went right down to the wire.
After the first round of games Troon Portland was in the lead with a score of +9 followed by Ayr with +5 and Galston and Gangrels on +4. In the second round Troon Portland were pegged back to a combined score of +4, Ayr slipped back to +2 and Galston to level. Gangrels won both their games and increased their combined score to +5 and Dalmellington increased their score of +1 from the first game by a further 4 shots to share top spot with Gangrels.
The rules of this competition are such that, in the event of a tie, the winner is adjudged to be the club which has scored the most shots and Dalmellington had scored 16 - 1 shot more than Gangrels.
Accordingly, the winner of this year's Province Medal, for the second year running, is Dalmellington.
Final placings -
Dalmellington +5 (16 shots)
Gangrels +5 (15 shots)
Troon Portland +4 (20 shots)
Stewarton +4 (14 shots)
Crosshill
Ayr
Galston
Sorn
Symington
Dundonald
Ayr & Alloway
Beresford Ladies
There were some really tight games and a close finish - what more can you ask for ? Thanks to all those who took part.

President's Cup Update
With two weeks to go in the league stages of this year's President's Cup, four teams are out in front.
Ken Ross and Colin Naismith are setting the pace at the top of the league with three wins each from their three games - credit for which must of course go to Ernest Mutter and Robert Charters for skipping the teams so ably. The game between Ken Ross and Jim Dunlop was notable for having 22 shots over 8 ends, with Ken's team winning by 13 shots to 9.
Close behind on 5 points each are the teams of Peter Galloway and Euan Lawrence, skipped by Peter Reynolds and Jim Lyburn.
The league table can be found here.

First Week of President's Cup
Week One of the President's Cup and already I have problems. This is the competition where the skip leads the team and the third skips the team and I never know who to put as winning the games. So for the moment the teams are still known by the skip's name. I may change that as the weeks go by, just so you can all be as confused as I am.
The next problem is that the ice rink couldn't give us the sheets of ice we wanted for this competition and this is why two teams got byes on the first week. The committee decreed that each of those teams would receive 1 point, 4 ends and 4 shots.
There were only three games on the ice tonight and the winning teams were Ken Ross (Ernest Mutter), Colin Naismith (Robert Charters) and Jim Dunlop (Richard Morrison).
The league table is here.
Next week instead of the President's Cup we are playing our annual match for the Drew Duncan Quaich.
The draw is taken from the finishing positions in the Fraser Cup and is as follows:
Colin Naismith v George Hay
Allan Hastie v Francis McCrossin
Jim Dunlop v Ken Ross
Peter Kennedy v Peter Galloway
The game will be over 8 ends with each player skipping for two ends. If there are only three players, the first two players will skip for three ends and the normal skip for two.
There will be a meal after the game.
