Below is a match record from our roving reporter, Dave Munro:-
On sheet 1 the oldies team of Morgan, Simon, Andy (Aberdein) and Hugh took on
the slightly more youthful Sandy, Rowena, Karen and Lorna (Shaw) in a serious
father v son battle for supremacy while on sheet 2 a much younger (at heart)
oldies squad of Dave, Willie (Kerr), John (Good) and Graham (Elder) squared up
against youngies Lindsey, Jack and Becca Elder . (I note that Willie didn't face his daughter - ed.)
Both games were played with plenty of
enthusiasm and while Dave’s rink were gradually moving ahead leading 6-0 after 4
ends, the Nicoll family were in a real tight match at 3-3 after 4. In ends 5
& 6 on sheet 2, however, Lindsey and her team sprung to life and score a 2
and a 1 to bring the match to 3-6. Meanwhile, back on the other sheet, Sandy scored a 3 off his
dad and at this point in the evening, both matches were 6-3 meaning the overall
match was tied at 9-9.
However with Dave and Morgan both scoring 2’s at their
next ends then Lindsey only getting a 1 in their last end while Sandy and Morgan
blanked their last, the overall outcome was a win for the wonderfully talented
but modest oldies with a combined score of 13-10 in their favour, (Final scores
Morgan 5 - Sandy 6 and Dave 8 – Lindsay 4).
A close result in a very enjoyable
competition which gives the older members a taste of victory which has gone the
way of the young ones for the past couple of years.
Dave.
Watch out for a youngster backlash next season !
