As mentioned in the last blog the main two club leagues i.e. the club league and the inglis cup reached their conclusions this week with both going right down to the last games.
On Saturday Colin's rink beat Mike's rink handsomly to take the club league down to the last game: Mike v Gordon.
On Sunday David Warden's rink beat Shuan Kelly's rink (skipped by Bob Miller) to win the Inglis cup so congratulations go to David and his rink.
Last night Mike's rink played Gordon's rink in a head to head winner take all game. Mike's rink comprising of Ron Morrison, Russell Brown & Steve Warden played very well and set up most of the ends leaving Gordon with some very difficult shots to stay in the game. But that they did and with the one's being exchanged up until the 6th end the score stood at 3-2. In the sixth end Mike's team nanaged to take a 2 followed by another two in the seventh end resulting in a shake of hands and the Club League Trophy going to Mike's rink, but only just with both Bob & Gordon's rinks in contention before the game.
Also on Sunday Edzell CC were competing in the Rink Championship final against Adrian White's Fotheringham team. Always a difficult game. After a few close exchanges early on Edzell started to break away with Adrian falling short with draws on two occassions giving up 2 shots both times. Colin's rink of Ron Caithness, Mike & Gordon started to take control and hands were shaken after the seventh end. The team now head to Kilmarnock in March to represent the ice rink and Edzell CC in the RCCC Rink Championship finals.
Other results to note are that Edzell are still fighting away in the Crighton Tankard up at Aberdeen Ice Rink. Gordon's Rink of Stephen/Maggie, Mike & Colin have two games behind them so far and have another coming up very soon.
We are toying with the idea of having a guest night to bring along potential new members and get them signed up before the end of the season in order that we can include them next season. If every member could bring along one or two guests imagine how that could strengthen the club. Other clubs enjoy great success from these guests nights with a meal after. Guests are more likely to come along when they know there are with other beginners.
What do you think? Let us know. If we are going to get it organised we need to get on with it.
Ron is also keen to hear your views on holding an end of season dinner and prize giving on the same basis as last years successful event. Please make your views known it is your club, support it.
Anyone with any other news please send it on to me at mike@ferguson-oliver.co.uk thank you.
