Points Night

The 2012 Ballindalloch Points, as every year, was a keenly fought affair. Six club members took to the ice to compete in the 10 disciplines of points curling.

Here is a small taste of the nights action:

Don Gatt's delivery


Robert Bremner

Callum Jacklin ferociously sweeping his promotion effort.

Eilidh Yeats going for an inwick.

Ruth Kennedy delivering her take out

Tony Duncan



Ruth Kennedy Playing her guard.

Now, down to the crutial scores! With the scoring close going into the last few disciplines it took a great performance in 'chipping the winner' and 'drawing through the port' from Ruth Kennedy to clinch the 2012 points competition on 41 points. Excellent score, well done Ruth.



>In second place was Robert Bremner on 38 points, Tony Duncan came third with 28 points.


Ruth and Robert now go on to represent Ballindalloch at the Moray Province points night on March 13th.

Mixed Pairs


The Moray Province Mixed Pairs will be played on Tuesday night between 6.30 and 9pm

With a reduced field, due to a number of withdraws, and a change in time due to the Leisure Centre wishing to close at nine, a re-draw had to be made.

Ballindalloch will be represented by two teams. Gordie and Ruth Kennedy play Forres' Sandra McIver in their opening game, while Robert Bremner and Eilidh Yeats take on a team from the Moray Junior Curling Club.

Good luck and good curling to both teams.

Moray Province (East) Division 4

With two games remaining in Division 4 of the Moray Province (East) Lynn Scott's rink have secured their 4th title in five years.

In a nail biting game against closest rivals Bob Stewart of Elgin, Lynn and her team of Alan McIntyre, Robert Bremner and Don Gatt survived losing a few early singles to come out on top winning 6-4 and with it secure the Bob Harcus trophy.

Having only lost their opening fixture, Team Scott have posted 6 straight victories on their way to the League title. This season has also seen a change in line up to the successful team of the previous 4 seasons, Don Gatt coming in at lead to replace Sam Williams, who is shortly due to have her first child.
