Autumn League - Halfway Stage

Bill Inglis, with Margaret Morrison, Charlie Rennie and Forbes Watson took a single shot at the 8th end to tie their game 7-7 with Mike McNeill.  Mike's team was Graham Spence, Campbell Kay and Mabel Hildebrand.
On the other rink, Richard Morrison's team of Dave Pittam, Alan Gorman and Sandra Inglis beat Mara Lindsay, Bob Handley and Jennifer Peat 6-2.
So at the halfway stage the league leader is David Wallace's team with 6 points from 4 games. They are closely followed by Mike McNeill on 5 points and Dave Gilmour on 4. Of course, everyone is still in with a chance and there's all to play for in the reverse fixtures.

Week 3 Results and Other Things

Last night saw two very close games, an exciting change from the "big wins" of the first two weeks. Mike McNeill's team beat Richard Morrison's at the last stone and on the other sheet David Wallace's team narrowly defeated David Gilmour's team, a game which also went to the last stone.
Skipping for David Wallace was Bob Handley, in his first game at skip. He played some crucial shots for victory.
Kyle & Carrick
Our team played on Monday against Kilmarnock Townend and unfortunately couldn't repeat their earlier success, losing to John Evans's experienced team.

The RCCC sent out the first issue of their online magazine on Monday.
In case you didn't receive it, here is a link. 

Lastly, Bill Abbott has some curling shoes for sale.
He emailed me with
As you may have noticed, I am using the cue now - so I have a size 8 pair of curling shoes, slider/kipper, in good condition for disposal?
 If you want to try them out, let me know.

Points Competition

The Points Trophy was played for last night with 10 keen curlers competing.


Everyone enjoyed the night, helped with the scoring and generally had a good time.  We played all but one of the disciplines and the ice was judged as good, with all the shots being possible, although perhaps not easy to accomplish.
Everyone at least made it to double figures and the final result was very close.
The top three were:
3rd Place    Bill Inglis       16  points
2nd Place    Bill Abbott    28 points
1st Place     Ronnie Peat  29 points

Some photos follow (click on the photo to enlarge).
