Rennie - Mid Term Report Card

Last night saw the completion of the first round matches in the Rennie.
On paper, the pick of the matches was that of Sandy's Rink v Andy A's Team.  Sandy took an early lead then Andy tactically (that's all we are admitting too anyway) blanked the second end.  This badly misfired when Sandy stole a big 4 in the third.  Fortune then swung with Andy's rink taking three of the last four ends.  The early ends however saw Sandy run out 7 - 4 winners.
Meanwhile, Colin was looking for his first win against James Pate's quartet.  Colin and his team took five of the seven ends to make it close, BUT team Pate's two ends were mighty ones and they ran out the victors with a scoreline of 8 - 7.
This leaves Sandy sitting at the top of the table having only dropped one point, in the first game of the season, against the Pate rink.  Two points behind in clear second is the recovering James P.  Only one point behind and separated by ends are Karen and Andy A, with Colin having a lot of ground to make up in the second half of the season.
