Newcomers Champions
Niall headed North to the Greenacres Curling rink just outside Glasgow to take part in a new comers event. The teams were made on the day and after a bit of coaching they had a tournament. Not only did Niall’s team get to the final they only went and won the event too!!! Well done Niall. Very courageous to go to Scotland not knowing anyone and then going and smashing it out of the park and coming home with the trophy.

Last Thursday it finally happened. The team of Richard Cooper, Guy Topping, Graham Bell and Paul Langton pulled off the ultimate end….. A perfect 8
It was the second end of the match and gave them a commanding 9-0 lead.
Their opponents shall go unarmed for obvious reasons and I’d hate to embarrass Bob Scott, the skip….Whoops!
