Lymphoy Trophy Round 1 Results and League Table

Interesting first round, the most interesting game of which was the Niall Gunn v John Steven clash.  After six ends (and sometimes, when you think about it, games only have six ends!), the score was tied 3-3.  I was on the next sheet and both teams looked to be throwing bombs at each other - often asking the respective skips to come up with difficult last stones.  In the seventh end, Niall, Kerry Clark, Joe Barry and substitute Ian Keron scored a decisive 4 to take a 7-3 lead.  John had to throw caution to the wind in his last end and, as can sometimes happen in these situations, lost a big 7 to lose 14-3.  Who'd have thought?

In the meantime, Andrew Galloway was leading Jenny Barr by two shots with the last end to play.  What's more, he had the hammer!  The least said about how they contrived to lose a two against the head the better and the game ended in an honourable draw!

Brian managed an important win against Susan Kesley and Shone Watt, after a bright start, lost a 4 in the third end and never really recovered.  Dave Munro, Katie Wood, Betty Gibb and Sheena Munro walked away with the spoils.
