Final Rennie Results

The final games in the Rennie saw Simon's team finally slide away from their mid-season purple patch back to their early season losing streak while John tried to make a late come back with only his second win of the season.  That said a 15 - 0 win was pretty uncompromising, if only they could have shown some of that form earlier in the year....
This left the Battle of the Andys which was viewed with interest by Simon and his crew.  A win for Andy Aberdein would have meant second place in the table and pushing Simon back down to third.  Despite some promising shot,s the might of our run away champions, Andy McDiarmid, Willie Kerr, Sandy Nicoll and John Playfair proved too much in the end, although an 8 - 4 scoreline flattered our champions.

Rennie Winner 15/16

Congratulations to Andy McDiarmid, who in his absence scored the curcial win against the Kesley
team to make victory assured, with one game still in hand.
Andy's team, led on the night by his third, Willie Kerr, James Logan (sub), Sandy Nicoll and John Playfair took a comfortable 10 - 3 win over Simon, Graeme, Hugh and Frances (sub) on very 'tricky' ice over on sheet 7.  While there were errors on both sides, Simon and Graeme never really got to grips with the challenge that the ice and opposition presented, thus halting their run of results.

On the other sheet John Good and Andy Aberdein had a game of two halves.  John won the first four ends and went into the fifth with a 5 - 0 lead.  Andy was to deny John and more shots and took the final three ends to leave the ice with a well earned 5 - 5 draw.

These results leave Andy McDiarmid as our winner and John Good heading for relegation.  Simon still leads Andy Aberdein by 1 point so the runner up slot is still up for grabs.

RCCC District Medal

Well done to our team of Graeme Maguire, Karen Munro, John Good and Simon Kesley, who on a rain lashed Saturday night went up to Kinross (not Kelso) to win our District Medal Game against Forret.
We knew from the first end that it would be a needle game when drawing against a three, Graeme made the four foot only to have the opposition insist on a measure (which we won).  All the ends went for a single with one steal to each side other than the fourth end when we took a big four.  The final score was 7 - 3.

A huge thanks to Simon who was called up at 5.30 for a game at Kinross at 8.20.

President v Vice President

James Logan

The annual President v Vice President games were played last night it it was good to see Keith Stuart and Charles Young back on the ice for the first time this season.
Although the two games were heading in very different directions, after the fourth end James Logan's teams had an aggregate lead of 1 shot (the individual scores being 0 - 6 and 6 - 1).  Luck was definitely not going with the president and it wasnt until the sixth end that he managed to 'get Granny onto the bus'.  By this point, however, it looked like the only way he was going to get his name on the trophy was if the Secretary got the engraving instructions muddled up (again).
The final result showed a win to James Logan, the Vice President aided by Dave Munro by an aggregate score of  13 - 8 over John Good and James Pate.  (The individual scores being 1 - 8 and 7 - 5).  This is the first time that James has won this trophy since 1997/98.
The game was followed by an enjoyable dinner at the rink.
