Closing Weekend

The Winning Top Ten Teams
Another very busy weekend at the ice rink with Edzell involved to the full.


On Friday night in the Ferguson Quaich Mike's rink were met by a determined rink skipped by Alistair Inglis with Bob Myles & Sandra Ferguson. With the score swinging back and forward in favour of both teams Mike's rink of Gordon Craik & Steve Warden emerged the winners by 3 shots. Despite a player short in both rinks this was a most enjoyable friendly yet competitive game.


On Saturday night the club held a guest a night with around 30 adults and children taking to the ice for some basic coaching followed by a meal. Voted a great success everyone appeared to enjoy the evening and with 10 new members signing up membership application forms things look good for next season. We now need grasp this opportunity to work with these potential new members, mentor them and make them feel part of the club and become regular curlers both on and off the ice. Many thanks to all members who brought along guests and supported the evening - well done.



Finally on Sunday it was time for the RCCC Area 9 Top Ten Club Challenge with Edzell CC entering a team comprising of Russell Brown, Sandra Ferguson, Gordon Craik, James Craik, Lynda Kemp, Bob Myles, Andrew Ferguson, Murray Young, Steve Warden, Mike Ferguson & Ron Caithness.


After 3 rounds of the competition the club did excellently well and were leading the score board going into the hot shots round. Unfortunately the wheels came off a bit in that round with Edzell slipping to 4th place overall. Fothringham CC came through strongly to win the competition with Dundee CC second and Letham Grange third.


A great fun yet competitive day and an excellent way to finish off the season. Many thanks to all members who supported this event.


We will be back in touch shortly with details of the AGM & Prize Giving night to which all members are invited.
