Currie and Balerno's annual doubles competition is on the 8th of November. Here are the teams and draw for the day itself - make yourself aware of your start time as it is staggered. If you need to get a sub, or have got yourself a sub, can you please make the committee aware. Thanks, and happy curling!
Friday saw all teams out in force, and what a night it was!
The 2 teams at the top of the table - Fleming and K Munro - went head to head. A 5 in the 3rd end sealed the deal pretty early for Karen, keeping Brian to only a couple of single ends to win 10-2. (Big ends was a common occurrence across all games!)
Kerry went against Andrew Galloway, taking a 6 in the 5th end then stealing a 4 the end after, leading to a final score of 14 - 2
Jenny and Dave went head to head, with a 6 in the 2nd end making it very difficult to come back from, leading to a 12 - 4 win to Dave
The best comeback of the season must go to Niall Gunn and team. Losing a 7 in the first end to John Steven, the 3-man team of Niall, Isobel and Margaret fought back to close the gap to 4, with John taking the win 11-7.
Here is the league table after last night's games:

Friday saw two different games. Niall was up against a depleted Andrew Galloway's team and despite the game being close for the first 4 ends, it was a 4 in the 5th then another in the 7th that gave him the victory, his first of the season.
On the other sheet, Jenny and Brian fought it out, going toe for toe until the last end, where Jenny managed to score a 2 and take the win, her first of the season too.
The league table has been jumbled slightly with Jenny and Niall now with points on the board.

Friday saw the other 4 teams complete their round 2 in the Kettle and what a couple of games. Of the 16 players there were 7 subs, so thank you to them all for stepping in to help out. We couldn't do it without you!
Niall's team took on Karen's team and despite Margaret's excellent skipping and team full of subs of different abilities, it wasn't to be and Karen took the win 15-3.
On the other sheet was a family battle for the ages as Rowena stepped up to skip from Brian's team to play against her Dad, John. Despite a close first 4 ends, a 5 in the 5th end in favour of Rowena kept the game out of John's reach. Brian's team took the win 10-6.
This means that currently Karen and Brian are the only teams with 4 points.
Any way, here is the league table after the completion of Round 2:

First split night of the season and first (possible) shake ups of the season as well!
Kerry and Andrew's teams had good wins last week and were looking for something similar this week, however Jenny and Dave's teams had other plans!
Jenny's team took an early lead, but then after losing 4 ends in succession, it looked like Kerry was taking the 2 points. 7th and final end saw an incredible comeback from Jenny's team to score a 4 to level the scores, giving each team 1 point.
Over on the other sheet, despite winning the first end, Andrew's team was on the back foot for the whole game leading to a decisive 9-3 win for Dave's team.
After the first half of the second round games, the league table is looking like this:

The 26-27 Currie and Balerno season got underway on new ice on Friday. I will say that the ice was very good and the new rinks look really cool! It was so nice to see everyone out and enjoying themselves (even if there were a couple of slips! Hopefully not too many sore knees!).
There were also some very good games being played with tight scores all round, I can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store!
Any way, the only reason people read these blogs - the scores on the doors!
First league table of the season!
