Unfortunately last night Donald’s Rink Lanark#2 couldn’t capitalise on their first round success. With the ‘no-show’ of their Lead, Donald was off to penalty +3 to the opposition – New Bothwell on the first end whilst also losing 2 shots – ouch!
Heading into the second end at five down he lost another 2 – ouch ouch! Now seven down it looked like a serious mountain would have to be climbed. And so it proved with a defeat of 5/9, but well done in the ‘claw-back’ from so far down.
Well here’s to next year where we hope that the Club will fair better?

TB DICK – The first game was held on Thursday 17th September and Bob Thomson led his rink (Ian Reid, Hugh Campbell and June Faulds) against a very strong Avondale/Heather club skipped by Don Frame (his third was young Jamie Allan).
It was a very tight game throughout the 2 hours and a fabulous game to watch. End 1 saw Avondale/Heather take 2 shots but Lanark took 2 shots in the 2nd end. Avondale/Heather struck back with a 3 in the third end and Bob could only reply with a 1 in the 4th end—score:5-3 to Avondale/Heather. The fifth end was blanked—good tactics being played by Bob as he took the hammer into the 6th end and took 2 shots. Score: 5-5. The 7th end saw Avondale/Heather take 1 with their last stone (they had to remove Bob’s stone) therefore it was 6-5 going into the last end but Lanark had the hammer. The last end saw two Lanark stones in the 4-foot but there was an opposition stone (between Lanark’s stones) sitting for shot so Avondale/Heather were trying to guard this whilst Lanark was trying to open a path as a dunt on our front stone should remove the opposition stone. The pressure was on! It truly was because Don’s last stone failed to guard—in fact, it opened up another path but it meant Bob had to come up on the out-turn and hit his stones with enough weight to remove the opposition stone. Bob played a blinder—not only did he remove the opposition stone but he kept two Lanark stones for shot—game over! Score 7-6 to Lanark. GREAT.
