Top Ten, Aberdeen: 18th October, 2008

Five club members headed up to Aberdeen Ice Rink on Saturday 18th October to compete in the Area 9 Top Ten Competition.


Ron, Bob, Russell, Sandra & Mike put in a sterling effort playing against AWW in the first round followed by Suttieside in the second and Banchory in the third. We were slow out of the blocks against AWW giving us quite a bit of catch up in the following rounds. In the second we peeled with Suttieside then finally managing to secure a win against Banchory. Then followed the hot shots round with Ron & Mike competing for the team. Hot shots is always great fun and again it proved to be a real challenge and for the first time we put points on the board despite selecting the harder shots to double up points.



The team finished 5th out of 10 teams over all. Fotheringham emerged the overall the winners and were presented with the Ferguson Oliver Top Ten Trophy and cheque to the value of £150. AWW were second and Banchory & Suttieside joint third.

A number of comments were made on the format of the competition including the fact that the date for the competition was set too early in the season for most. Also a minimum number of team players should be set. Area 9 will look into these points for next year. All in all it was super fun day with everyone having a go in the rinks, triples & pairs. A few drinks and great company as usual with excellent swinging ice made by Andy.
