Monday 20th October, 2008

A busy night for the club with three teams out on the ice at Forfar Ice Rink.

In the first session Andrew Ferguson skipped a rink comprising of Colin, Mike & Kate Caithness in the Ferburn league against a very strong team from Dun CC with Gary Wood, Hazel Wood, Lorraine Wood all in the team.

In a closely fought game the rink went into the last peeled at 3-3 with Andrew having the last stone. The team managed to keep the house clean leaving Andrew a hit and stick to win the game which he duly dispatched. A tough game with some excellent curling throughout and a great start to the competition.

In the second session "through the house" Mike and his team of David Myles, Nikki Milne & Linda Kemp played Ron and his team of Shaun Smith, David Warden & Mike Hay in the club league. Again a hard fought game with Ron running away with a 4 shot lead to be pegged back to 4-3. The seventh end was the important one with Mike managing to take 3 shots meaning the team went down the last 2 up. Ron's team scored one at the last end leaving Mike's team winning by the odd shot. Unfortunately Ron was struggling with a very painful back and we all hope he manages to rest and recover soon.

Tonight's see's Edzell playing Forfar CC in the Rink Championship, always a tough challenge but one the team of Mike, Colin, Gordon & Ron (or Andrew) will certainly be up for. Check back tomorrow to see the result.

Linda has asked me to remind all members who haven't paid their annual subscription to do so now. The club needs the funds from the subs to meet the ever increasing expenses.

Iit is proposed a committee meeting is held on Wednesday night at the Glenesk Hotel at 7.30 pm to discuss a number of items that have arisen since the start of the season.

Finally I would remind members, particularly skips, to send me scores from the games in order that I can post them and keep members informed. My e-mail address is mike@ferguson-oliver.co.uk. Or simply hand in the score card to my office and I will take it from there.

I beleive the club had a good win in the Callander Trophy over the weekend but I don't have more detail than that.
