March Update

It's been a while since I last updated the Blog but here is a summary of what has happened recently as best I know it.

Province Points
John Dowell, Ian Robertson & Sandy Reid represented the club in the Province Points at the start of the month and were tied for 1st place in the team event with Letham Grange CC. Unfortunately Letham Grange came out on top with a better draw to the button in the tie break. Ian was 3rd overall in the Individual event.

Interclub v Fotheringham
We won our final inteclub against Fotheringham CC 3 games to 1 with Ian Robertson's rink being the highest up. This means that we won 7 out of 8 Interclub's this year, a super effort from everyone involved. Just means we have a bigger bill for the engraving now....!

District Medal
Two rinks visited Kirkcaldy Ice Rink a couple of weeks ago to play our District Medal match against Raith & Abbotshall CC winning one match and peeling the other for a 14-6 win. A good time was had and it was great to visit another Ice Rink, especially playing on their very interesting ice!
The 2 rinks were: Hamish Robertson, Alan Arnot, Garry Smith, David Patullo & John Dowell, Sandy Reid, Thomas Halder, Alistair Stewart.

Angus Challenge
John Dowell and his rink were beaten by Edzell CC in a close final of the Angus Challenge

Scottish Schools
Hard lines to Thomas Halder who came ever so close to retaining the Scottish Schools he helped win last after a last end defeat in the final at Murrayfield.

RCCC Area 9 Top Ten Challenge
Nine members decided they would spend the hottest March day on record curling rather than sunbathing by representing the club in the Top Ten Challenge at Forfar on Sunday 25th. Wise choice I say as they successfully defended the title we won last year and in the process added some money to the club funds due to a decent prize fund.
The nine players that played were: Kirsty Geddes, John Dowell, Angus Dowell,  Sandy Stewart, Alistair Stewart,   Alan Arnot, Craig Arnot, Mike Morison and William Reekie.
A big well done to you all, especially to John, Angus & Alistair who were there for 11 hours....! Hope you managed a drink to celebrate!

AGM
A reminder that the AGM is being held on Tuesday 3rd April at 7.30pm in the Star Inn.
