Currie and Balerno Points Competition 2025

 Friday the 17th of January saw highly anticipated points competition get underway. For all the history of the points competition, click on the points tab at the top of the page. 10 brave competitors took on 7 disciplines of varying difficulty (although one persons difficulty could be someone else's strength).

After all the points were added up, our winner was:

Dave Munro - 41 points - He wins the main points trophy

Runner up:

Kerry Clark - 36 points - She is runner up and will also win the Ladies prize too.

In join third were myself and Jen Marshall. We also had someone take part who hadn't curled in over 20 years! Shows how inclusive the points can be!

C&B Points 2024

C&B had their annual points competition on the 19th of Jan, with a decent turnout of 12 players, with a real mix of usual players and newer members of the club.

They managed to work their way through 7 disciplines. It was very close at the top with 4 players scoring in the 30s! But taking the top spot was Jen Marshall with a score of 35, narrowly beating Dave Munro who finished with 34 points (and wouldn't stop going on about a missed stone on the last discipline...It's alright, he never reads this blog anyway). So Jen wins not just the Points trophy, but also the ladies' prize too!

Coming in 3rd with a respectable score of 33 was Eilidh Troup, a new member to the club and to the points game too! I think Jen should be worried about that trophy next year!

Well done everyone! Points is great fun and a great way to improve your curling so if you are reading this and haven't tried it before, it's definitely worth trying out next season. After all, it was C&B who created it!
