Lymphoy Cup Round 6.1 (2) Result and Final League Table

Bob Barr, John Penny, Karen Munro and Graeme Maguire Secure the Glenbrook Quaich 

In the second of the "Beast fae the East" re-arranged ties, Bob Barr faced off against Robin Copland.  It wasn't quite "winner take all"; Bob was two points ahead of Robin as they went into their game, so Robin had to win and win at least the same number of ends as Bob' team.  All was looking good for Robin, Betty Gibb, Josh Kellock and Susan MacFarlane; a big three in the sixth end (one of many threes and fours that the two teams were chucking in each other's direction!) secured their fourth end.  All they had to do was keep it clean and restrict Bob to an end score of less than four.

Ehmm.

So anyhow, Bob and co scored the four they needed for the draw and, more importantly, the point they needed to secure the Glenbrook Quaich.

Lymphoy Cup Round 7 Results and League Table

All four games went ahead this evening and it is testament to the closeness of the run-in for the Glenbrook Trophy that three of the four still had  a bearing on the destination of the trophy.

Brian Fleming had to beat Shona Watt and hope that both Bob Barr and Robin Copland slipped up.  Well Brian, Maggie Barry, Donald Kennedy and substitute Ian Keron did their bit, but sadly for them, neither Bob nor Robin did the banana skin thing, so the best they can hope for (with Niall Gunn, of course) is third place.

Robin, Betty Gibb, Susan MacFarlane and substitute Holly Davis won a titanic struggle against Jenny Barr with a valuable steal of two in their last end.  This keeps them (with Josh Kellock) very much in the hunt.

Bob Barr, John Penny, Karen Munro and Graeme Maguire had a great win against Andrew Galloway to move them onto ten points and within touching distance of the trophy. 

There is one game remaining in the league and that will take place tomorrow morning at 9.30.  The game is between Bob Barr in second place and Robin Copland, currently in fourth.

Here's the results grid.

So here's the story.  Bob just needs to win or draw.  He wins the Glenbrook Trophy.  If Robin wins and manages to match or beat Bob's ends total, then, he wins the trophy on 10 points and ends won.  Bob could lose the game and still win the Glenbrook trophy if he manages to score two more ends than Robin.  If he loses the game and wins four ends to Robin's three, for example, then it would go to shots-up.  Currently Bob is 16 shots up to Robin's 14.  Do the maths yourself because my brain hurts!

More tomorrow!
