Kettle Round 4.2

It was the turn of the other 4 teams (the bottom 4 according to the draw, not according to the league table!) to take to the ice. 

2 very high scoring games, with the 2 unlucky teams missing their skips. My game against Kerry Clarks rink was much closer than the score card read, with only a couple of large ends being the downfall.

Anyway, here is the league table after the completion of Round 4!

Kettle Round 4.1

 Another split evening with teams one to four (Wood, Barr, Fleming and Steven) taking to the ice. 

In what is becoming a tight race at the top, Katie and Brian went head to head with Brian taking an early lead with a 4 in the first end. It proved too difficult for Katie to come back and despite taking it to 8 ends, the game ended 8 - 4. On the other sheet (and the other end of the league table), Jenny went up against John. Unfortunately for Jenny, she wasn't able to get her first win despite a late come back attempt. 

Here is the league table after these games:

Currie and Balerno Doubles Competition 2024

C&B had their annual doubles competition on the 3rd of November. It was a great turn out 16 pairs taking to the ice in 2 sections, 8 in each.

One section (unfortunately my section) had very close games with few big ends being taken. The other section however had some very high scoring games and the eventual winners and runner ups were in that section.

Fun day was had by all and our eventual winners were:

Vicky and Lois - With a score of +13

Runners up were:

Kerry and Susan - With a score of +8

Great day for the ladies! Thank you to all who played and to all the subs that stepped in too.

Kettle Round 3

Another great night with all teams out on the ice and from the looks of the scores, some really good games! I certainly had a very close game against Brian, ending in a draw of 8 all. It was a mistake by me in the last end that gave up the win and that last end will live in my memory forever. 

Over on the other sheets, Niall and Jenny were having a fairly close game until some large ends allowed Niall to take the lead. Sarah was skipping Katie's rink against Kerry. A very close game but an excellent hit by Sarah in the 2nd end gave her team a 4 and Kerry tried her hardest to make a come back but unfortunately it was not to be. John and Shona also had a close game but a 5 from John in the 3rd end made it difficult for Shona to stage her come back and John took the win.
