Macallan Bonspiel

Elgin Curling Club held their annual Bonspiel on Saturday March 3rd at the Moray Leisure Centre. Ballindalloch were represented by Skip Tony Duncan and his team of Robert Bremner, Audrey Marr and Tricia Lawson.

In their first game Ballindalloch took on Ugie ( a team from Fraserburgh, not the hotel as we thought!!) in a friendly, fun game Ballindalloch won 7-5

In the afternoon session Ballindalloch faced the Grampian Police. In a game that was closer than the score suggests, the Coppers ran out 9-4 winners.

although there were only three sheets being used in each session, as good time was had by all, there was a bar!! and alister Maltman entertained all with his loudmouth breeks!

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.
