The Opening Bonspiel , last night threw up some interesting scores and facts.
Firstly, Congratulations to the winners - Ian Donald, John Good, Sean Barron and Sally Brown. They managed a decisive 11 - 3 (and six ends to one) victory over a rink containing two of our Coronation League stars. A big 4 in the first end and it looks like the McDiarmid rink was playing catch up. By the time they scored their 3 in the fourth end, they were already down 6 - 3. .... Meanwhile
On the other rink there was another one sided battle with our next president beating our past president 6 - 2. With Vice President Richard's team taking the first five of seven ends. It was a tight game with all the ends except the first, going for singles.
An interesting fact (courtesy of Andy McD) was that of the 16 players on the ice, 7 had been with the club for two years or less. Three of them, for the first time and one for the second. We hope that they all had fun and will be with the club for a long time (Maybe even become treasurer/web master etc sometime!) So it was a big welcome to Emma, Sean (both in Dave Munro's rink in the Rennie) and Grace, our newest junior superstar/supersub.
Coronation League update.
Although our league season has just started the Coronation League has been going for two weeks.
We started off the season with a strong 10 - 4 win against a useful East Linton team. The loss of a 5 in our second game sealed our fate with a 4 - 9 loss to Mid Calder .
