Two links of Interest

David Smith has posted a very interesting article in which he publishes a letter from the Country Gentleman: Sporting Gazette & Agricultural Journal from Saturday Dec 4th 1880. It's a great read.
Have a look at this link

Last Night's Games

There were victories for Bill Inglis and David Gilmour last night.

Bill started like a house on fire and built up an 8 shot lead before Richard fought back with three twos in a row. Unfortunately, at the last end he couldn't complete the task, and a two for Bill's team ensured a 10-8 victory.

On the other rink twos at the fourth and fifth ends meant that Dave Gilmour's team were always in control. Despite Mike McNeill's singles at the last two ends, Dave finished up winning by 7-5.

League Games 6th Nov - and another Kyle & Carrick Victory

David Wallace's team maintained their lead in the league with a 9-4 victory over Mike McNeill's team. While on the other rink David Gilmour managed four shots at the last end to snatch an exciting draw with Bill Inglis.
The league results and up to date table are shown in the page above or you can find them by following this link.

Later that night Fullarton recorded their second win of the year in the Kyle & Carrick League, beating Ayr and Alloway 10-3. The front end of Mara Lindsay and Dave Pittam played exceptionally well, leaving third Ronnie Peat and skip Mike McNeill straightforward shots to keep the pressure on the opposition.
Shot of the night was Mike's last stone - an inch perfect inwick from the edge of the circle to lie shot on the button and steal the last end.
