Monday 19th October, 2009

The club had a few rinks out tonight with the first competing in the North & South Esk Ferburn League with Edzell up against Catterthun. The Edzell team comprised of Ron (Skip), Mike, Kate & Bob as they faced up to George Dalgarno (Skip), Tom Miller, David Miller & Gavin Grant.

This was a good all round team performance from Edzell building a 4 -0 scoreline after three ends before Catterthun replied taking one in the fourth end. With the score 5 -1 to Edzell after five ends Catterthun threatened a fightback by taking a 2 in end six to take the score to 5 - 3.

Determined not to let them back in Edzell closed out the game with a decisive 5 shots in end seven and finished matters off with nice single in the last end taking the final score to 11 -4. A great start to the competition setting up us nicely for the next round.

The second game of the night was an Inglis cup game with Shaun Kelly's rink up against Russell Brown's rink. With Shaun only managing to muster three players the dreaded six shot rule was applied.

Determined not to let that ruin the game Shaun's rink of Steve Warden & Mike Ferguson set out to crawl back the deficit and after six ends they were up 6 - 0 making the overall score a tidy 6 - -6.

With the game starting afresh in the seventh end there were plenty stones in the house and Shaun played some excellent guards to steal another two stones taking the score to 8 - 6 going down the last.

Again with plenty stones on the house both teams played a very good end with Bob & Sandra dropping stones in front of those already placed by Mike & Steve. Ron played an excellent strike getting rid of three stones leaving only one yellow in the house surrounded by five reds. Russell was left with a tough shot to get rid of the yellow to sit three and take the game. The stone bent a bit to much leaving reds sitting one shot making the final score 8 -7 with the penalty shots.

Again a good fun game with shots a plenty. Keep the game reports coming in please.
