Ferguson Quaich & Others


The Ferguson Quaich has kicked off with a couple of lively games.

On Sunday night Alistair Inglis faced up to Robert Miller with Alastair edging out victorious after what I am told was an enjoyable and fun game throughout. Well done to Bob Myles for bringing his daughter and her husband along to make up the numbers and make sure there were 8 on the ice.

Last night Mike's rink were faced with a tough challenge from Ron's rink and again a good game was had with Ron winning 31-30 with the turning point coming in the seventh end with nearly all the stones in the house and some very good curling before Ron elected for the double take-out which worked perfectly. Mike replied with a double take out on the last but not enough to get that valuable extra point. Only one point in it so keeps everything nice and tight going into the rest of the games.

On Monday afternoon Stephen, Mike, Ron & Gordon met Aberlemno in the first round of the Dewar Trophy. A hard fought game going down an extra end before Edzell emerged victorious, but only just.

We are going to try and arrange a guest night before the end of the season to try and get some new members in to the club so please start thinking up some names. I will get back with a date later this week.

Best wishes to Ron and safe journey as he and Kate head off to the Winter Olympics, fingers crossed they witness's curling medal success.
