Lymphoy Cup Round 6.1 (1) Result and League Table

Shona Watt, Andrew Barr, Caitlin Penny and Sheena Munro - Lymphoy Cup Winners 2018!

It's official!  The Watt bandwagon kept rolling along and dealt John Steven a bit of a doing this time.  This has been a great performance by the whole team and they have strolled through their opponents one-by-one.  With one game to go and on 12 points, they cannot be caught - many congratulations to them.  Here is the results table confirming their 11-2 win.

This round will be completed when Bob and Robin play each other on Saturday morning, but for now, first place is secured for Shona and her team.  Here is the league table with just five games to go.

John actually jumps ahead of Andrew Galloway and his team by virtue of the two ends that he won against Shona in their game. 

The question now remaining is who will win the Glenbrook Quaich?  The three contenders are Brian Fleming, Bob Barr and Robin Copland.  Brian is ahead on ends but both Bob and Robin have a game in hand.  Bob just needs a win against Robin to secure the Glenbrook as that would take him out of reach, but two slip-ups on his part would open the door. We may know by Friday night, depending on results in round 7, but there is still the potential decider on Saturday morning between Robin and Bob.  Book your seats - a large crowd is expected...

So, when does round 6.2 precede round 6.1?  When the Beast fae the East comes a-calling, that's when!  Round 6.1's two matches have been re-arranged and, in the meantime, two matches took place last Friday: Susan Kesley v Andrew Galloway and Brian Fleming v Jenny Barr.  As you can see in the grip below, the results went Andrew and Brian's way.

Though Susan is having nothing less than a stellar season outside the Lymphoy Cup, she finds herself rooted to the bottom of the table after losing to Andrew.  Andrew is one end shy of Jenny's total on the same four points and both have one game remaining to remedy things.  Brian has a great ends total and is still in the hunt for second place if other results go his way.  If John Steven and Robin Copland both beat Bob (on Friday evening and Saturday morning at 09.30 - excuse me?) and if Brian wins his last game against Shona Watt on Friday evening, then it is on for him!
