Curling Postponed - again

Due to recent government announcements, Murrayfield (curling) will remain closed until at least 9th November.

Further announcements will follow as information becomes available.

Curling Update

We now know that Murrayfield Curling will remain closed for a further week.  

It is now expected to reopen on Monday 2nd November 2020.

Most of the games lost by the first two weeks of shutdown have now been rescheduled and can be viewed on our Fixtures tab.  NB games with a grey background still await rescheduled.  Games with a yellow background are games that have been rescheduled.

Games originally scheduled for 14-10-20, 26-10-20 and 31-10-20 still await new dates.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR GAMES CAREFULLY.  THIS SITE WILL HAVE THE MOST UP TO DATE SCHEDULES.

Start - Stop

More news on rescheduled games will be announced - at some stage !

 

In addition - The Scottish Province Championships over the weekend 6-11 Nov 2020 at Greenacres has been postponed

 

 

 

We have all been made redundant

We are all being replaced by robots !

Wingate - The New Normal

 Under the new social distanced regime, the Wingate got under way last night.

Maybe it was the lack of a live audience or maybe some people really need two sweepers but both games resulted in surprise winners. All the winners of the Rosebowl, going back to season 2014-15, were beaten!  Is THIS the new normal?

Our reigning champion, Dave Munro was defeated by Willie Kerr 6 - 3.  Willie was the victor in 2014-15.

Meanwhile Willie's newly promoted daughter Rowena beat her fellow 'Young One' and new father Sandy Nicoll, the 2018-19 champion 7 - 4.  Is this too many sleepless nights for Sandy or have the Kerrs been secretly training under cover of lockdown ?

Answers will follow.

RCCC Rink Champs & Swan Fixtures

 RCCC Rink Champs & Swan have now had their finalised draws made.

Please note that fixture dates and times have changed from those initially intimated.

The good news is that we have secured a bye in the Swan and are straight through to the semi finals where we will face either Corstorphine or Currie & Balerno. (ouch!)

Session Times Updates etc - and yet more Covid Info

The session times on the syllabus (Fixtures tab) have now been updated to give the CORRECT times based on Murrayfield's allocation of 'stagger times'.  Dates for Province Competitions have also been added.

PLEASE AMEND YOUR DIARY ACCORDINGLY.

We have also added a complete list of players and reserves at the bottom of the fixtures page.

Please note   There is some conflicting information for the new 'sweeper rules'.  We previously stated that the designated sweeper (one only per stone) would sweep between the hog lines only.  New information suggests that they sweep from the delivery hog line all the way to the tee line.  As there is no sweeping allowed behind the tee, the skips (lazy) will take no part in active sweeping.

THIS POINT WILL BE CLARIFIED BEFORE THE FIRST GAME.

Scottish Curling have provided a short video on new arrangements (NB Parts of this may be varied based on individual ice rinks facilities) :-
