RCCC Rink Championship 1st Round

A good game was on the cards and so it turned out to be. The edzell rink of Andrew Ferguson, Gordon Craik, Colin Inglis & Mike Ferguson were drawn against Forfar 1 comprising of Martin Gledhill, Keith Gibb, Craig Johnston & Adrian White. After giving up 2 on the first end Edzell faced up an up hill task but dug in deep and took control of the game racing off to a 5 - 2 lead only to lose a silly three after a bad shot call from the skip.

The game was back on with Forfar's confidence restored. A couple of nice draws in the 6th end saw Edzell restore their lead and after losing one on the 7th Edzell headed down the last one up and with the hammer. A very tight end followed with both rinks having chances to seal of the end thankfully Mike didn't have to play his last stone and after a measure the shot was Edzell's making the final score 8 - 6 for Edzell.

We are in a ridiculously hard section with Forfar 2 & Evenie Water still in contention but if we can keep this standard up who knows.
