Lymphoy Cup Round 6 finished

 The 4 final teams to complete round 6 did so on Friday 14th March. My team were against Brian Fleming's and my Dad's were again Jen's.

 My game was a race for the wooden spoon and despite my best efforts (I will be dreaming of the angled tap up I had to make on the 5th end for a while!) it looks like we may be the recipients of said spoon...Brian's team were on fire.

On the other sheet, a middle table challenge was on. Jen was victorious, snatching a 3 in the second to last end to seal the deal.

Next Fridays games are going to be interesting. The only real game to watching will be Mike Wood vs Kerry Clark. If Mike wins or draws, he will win the Lymphoy. If Kerry wins, she will leapfrog him into the top spot. Should be an interesting game! 

Here is the league table after the end of Round 6:

Lymphoy Cup Round 5.75 and 6.5

 On the 7th of March, we had our first 4 sheet game in a while! It was really nice to see everyone out on the ice and nicer still was people staying for a meal afterwards.

On the ice we had John Steven vs Dave Munro. If John had won this game, it would have put him in serious contention for the trophy but Dave held his ground winning 6-5 (with one end coming down to a measure where the winning stone was literally a millimetre closer to the centre, so close the thirds couldn't decide!). 

On my game against Andrew Galloway, I had a strong start then Andrew's team made a comeback to peel the game 5-5. Another peel was had in Kerry's game against Brian. That peel may have lost Kerry the title! It will all come down to her game against Mike Wood's team in the last game!

Jennifer's team had a tricky game against Mike but Mike did come out on top.

Anyway, league table:

Lymphoy Cup Round 4 complete and 5.5

 Last Friday (28th of February) saw Dave and Karen Munro's teams finally complete Round 4 of the Lymphoy, meaning we are over halfway through the competition and it is very close at the top!

John Steven's team were against Karen's, however John and third, Morna, were away representing Currie and Balerno at the Rink Championships up in Perth. John brought in new club member, Andy McDiarmid to skip and had Rachel Macrae at lead. They played out of their skins and Karen (me) was left with some difficult circus shots! It was tough!

I don't want to speak on Andrew Galloway's behalf but I hope he felt my sympathies from the sheet over after a lose against my Dad.

Any way...enough about those games! The league table:

Lymphoy Cup Round 4.75 - The Catch-up Game

The game that was postponed by Storm Eowyn on the 24th of January took place on Sunday (23rd of Feb). This saw Jennifer Marshall's team take on Andrew Galloway and John Steven take on Brian Fleming. A close game between Marshall and Galloway finished with Galloway taking the win. The other game was a little less close, with team Steven taking the win.

Here is the League table after the game on Sunday:

Lymphoy Cup - Last of Round 3 and Start of Round 5!

Last Friday (21st of February) saw Kerry Clark go against John Steven and Andrew Galloway go against Mike Wood. Both games passed some large ends back and forth but ultimately John and Mike came out on top. This makes the race for the top a lot tighter!

Here is the league table after the game on the 21st:

Lymphoy Round 3.5 and 4.25 (or something like that!)

Ah, Valentines Day...the perfect day to take to the ice and avoid having to take your partner out for a meal.

We are almost through Round 3 of the Lymphoy and there is no change at the top. Kerry's team had a win over Jennifer's team and Mike's team had a win over Brian's team. That means Kerry is out on top with 8 points with Mike behind on 6. They are, however, the only teams to have played 4 games, so there is a chance that someone may catch up although it will be difficult!

Here is the league table after last Friday's game:

Lymphoy Round 2.5 and 3.25

Round 2 is now complete with Brian and Jennifer's teams taking to the ice against The Munro's. 

Karen and Brian did not have a good night with some pretty big loses (Brian lost 8-2 to Dave and Karen lost 13-6 to Jennifer's team, skipped by Maggie Barry). We even discussed just heading to the pub about half way through! 

Anyway, here is the league table now that Round 2 is complete and we are halfway through Round 3:
