Kettle Round 6.2

The second of the second group of split games took place on the 22nd of December, with a few interesting 'Christmassy' themed hats and jumpers gracing the ice. Two very close games were played although none of the teams playing really had a chance at the top spot. K Munro played Clark and despite getting a 5 in the first end, she lost a 4 in the second and the game went back and forth, ending in a draw 8 all. On the other sheet, Marshall took on Watt, with Watt getting the victory by only one point!

Kettle Round 6.1

The second of the split nights started on the 15th of December with teams Wood, D Munro, Fleming and Steven battling it out. Wood was at the top of the table after losing only one game, but a second defeat to team Fleming left it up to the end. On the other sheet, D Munro took on Steven, losing by one point. That means that Steven is also on 8 points so there are now 3 teams battling it out for first place!

The league table is as follows:

Kettle Round 5.2

The second of the split nights took place on the 8th of December, with what happened to be the bottom 4 teams going against each other.

Team Munro had a good win against Team Marshall, but it was a much tighter game on the other sheet where Team Clark, skipped by Rowena, narrowly beat the 3 man Team Watt.

Doubles competition 2023

The Currie and Balerno doubles competition took place on the 26th of November with lots of very close games (and lots of very impressive subs showing up the usual players!). It was very close in the end, with the winners being just one point ahead of second place. Unusually for doubles, the competition was won by 3 players! Not realising there would be more than one game, sub Holly Davies had to leave after the first game. Enter into the fold David Aitken, who had not thrown a stone in A YEAR! But much to Jenny's annoyance proceeded to draw to the 4 foot with his first stone...maybe curling is like riding a bike?

Talking subs though, Currie and Balerno are blessed with some of the finest subs around and I feel like they don't get as much credit as they are due. In fact, looking at the original draw for the doubles, out of the top 3 teams (of 7 players) only 2 were original players, the rest were super subs! 

Due to the mismatch of different players, I was unfortunately not able to get a picture of the winning team but the standing were as follows:

1st: Andrew Galloway and Holly Davies/David Aitken with +8 shots

2nd: Katie Wood and Josh Kellock with +7 shots

3rd: Eilidh Yeats and Colin Barr with +5 shots.

A massive thank you must also go to Dave Munro and Megan Priestly for doing the scoring for the competition. It can be tricky to wrangle up all the score cards especially with 2 different sessions happening and the 2 of them playing as well.

It was as always a fantastic afternoon of curling...just need to read up on how to successfully pull of a power play ahead of next years competition!

Kettle Round 5.1

 Hello All,

The first of the split weeks took place on the 1st of Dec, with what so happened to be the 4 teams at the top of the league table playing each other! From the look of the score cards, there were a few upsets too.

With the next split session on next Friday, there is no way of anyone catching up with top spot, Katie Wood, but there is still a chance of a bit of a mix up in the top 4.

Kettle Round 4

 Hi All,

Here are the results for the games on the 24th of November. A few key players missing has meant there is a very close race for the top at over the half way mark through the competition! 

The next 2 weeks are split weeks so it will be interesting to see how the score sheet and league table looks after them.
