Lymphoy Round 6 Complete - 13th March

 The conclusion of the Lymphoy Cup 2026 is nearly upon us and what a competition it has been!

 The final 4 teams to complete Round 6 took to the ice on the 13th of March, and with 2 teams in contention for winning the main prize, it was an exciting night.

Team Barr were on 6 points and in 4th spot before, but a win over Galloway means they jump to 8 points, matching Team Clark.

Team Steven had a decisive win over Team Wood taking them to the top with 9 points.

So...here is my take on how the competition could be won (similar to the methods in which Scotland could have won the Six Nations, if we'd only beaten Ireland!):

Steven wins his final game - He wins the Lymphoy.

Barr wins her final game (against Steven!), and Clark loses - She wins the Lymphoy.

Clark wins her final game, and Barr ties the game - It will come down to ends as she will be matched points with Steven. And as it stands, there are only 3 ends in it! 

Its going to be an interesting final session, and one my team could probably sit out (we won't, we might come 4th, a shock after being on the bottom for a good number of weeks!)

Anyway, here is the all important league table after the completion of Round 6:

Lymphoy Round 6.25 - 6th March

 Clark's bid for the Lymphoy is very much alive, and Munro is moving up the ranks!

Clark had a very decisive win over Fleming (skipped by Shona Watt), with a six in the first end proving very difficult to come back. This puts Clark back on the top, but doesn't mean she's locked it in yet!

Munro had a good win over Marshall, with some very difficult ends with lots of thinking! This jumps Munro right up to 3rd (although too many loses will make it very unlikely to win any cups!)

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

Clark up on top, but Steven and Barr have a game in hand! All up for grabs! League table after the start of Round 6.

Lymphoy Round 5 complete - 27th February

 Well, Round 5 has set up a race for the title! And a less appealing race for the wooden spoon...

Munro had a very close game against Galloway, winning by taking a 3 in the 4th end and then the 7th, giving her her 2nd win.

Steven went up against Clark (skipped by Joe Barry after Kerry and Sarah, the skip and third, had subs). Despite getting a couple of 2s later in the game, Stevens 3 in the third end really set them up for the win, and a 3 in the 5th end sealed that win.

Here is the league table after the completion of Round 5:

Steven leads the way with 7 points, but closely followed by Barr and Clark! League table after Round 5.

Lymphoy Round 5.25 - 20th February

 Apologies for the delay in posting results!

Good wins from Jenny Barr and Brian Fleming's teams mean a bit of a shake up on the table. This competition is very close this year!

Lymphoy Round 4 Complete - 13th February

 The last four rinks to complete round 4 took to the ice on Friday the 13th (spooky!), and with 6 subs out of 16 players, it was an interesting night!

John Steven's team were the only team out with all original members (Morag and Sheena have been sharing a rink) and they won their game comfortably against Karen Munro's team, who had two juniors playing lead and second (they played very well!)

Joe Barry was the only original member of Kerry Clark's team. They had a very close game against Andrew Galloway's team, which was skipped by Morna, and Kerry's team came out on top by 1 point!

Kerry and John's wins have shuffled the league table about a bit, with Kerry on top and John sitting in second with Jen a close third!

Lymphoy Round 3 complete - 30th January

 Round 3 is now complete with teams Barr, Wood, Clark and Munro (all female skips!) taking to the ice on Friday.

 It wasn't to be for Team Wood (Skipped by Andrew Barr) or Team Munro with some big loses. I'm going to blame the ice...

With the completion of round 3, still out on top by 1 point is Team Marshall, who have yet to lose a game. There are a few teams close on her heels though!
