Well, round two has been and went, as football commentators are wont to remark, and already there are patterns developing; good news for some but less so for others - including your scribe's team, which has been at the wrong end of two defeats!
It was a tight game in the first three ends between Karen Munro and club president Niall Gunn and his strong team of Joe Barry (3rd), Morna Aitken and Susan MacFarlane, but they pulled ahead with a big steal of 3 in the fourth end. Karen was presented with big shots every time that she came to play and was inches away on a couple of occasions from a spectacular result.
On the next sheet, Shona Watt, Fran Stretton, Mike Wood and Jill Gillard were 6-2 up on Rowena Steven, who was skipping Andrew's team in his absence. A spirited fightback towards the end of the game saw her win three important ends.
John Steven, Jennifer Marshall, Morag Wellman and Richie Anderson have made a great early statement of intent in October's games. Poor Dave Munro was on the receiving end of a bit of a doing, eventually losing out 11-2.
The last game of the evening was that between Raymond Preston, skipping the team in the absence of Brian, and secretary Jenny Barr. A tight game this one; Raymond got off to a good start, winning the first three ends, before he and Jenny swapped the next two. A 2 at the last end resulted in a final score of 4-3 for Raymond.
