Crosthwaite Results

The first competition of the season was completed last night. Due to the late start to the season it was a somewhat shortened competition this year with just 4 teams competing in a round robin league.

The winning rink was skipped by Jim Stewart with Andy Williamson as 3rd , Peter Kerby 2nd and Amanda Stewart leading.

Congratulations to the winners and good luck to all the teams competing in the Nethertown Cup which starts next week.

Inter Club v Galston Haymouth

Sunday 6th November saw the long awaited inter-club game v Galston Haymouth. After a 2 year absence, it was great to welcome 3 teams form the Ayrshire club to Lanarkshire Ice rink. It was a fun filled day with friendships made and renewed and some really good curling.

Unfortunately the Ayrshire teams proved too strong for Lesmahagow and we lost all 3 matches. After a lovely meal in the restaurant provided by Stewart and his team, President Alan presented the Cuddy to Galston Haymouth President Paula. The afternoon finished with the skips giving account of their games and a few 'stories' to entertain the curlers.

We are already looking forward to the return match next season in Ayrshire.

Medal Winners

 Sunday saw the start of the new season for Lesmahagow Curling Club with the finals of last season's Medal competitions. The semi's of the Clay Medal took place at 12.15 with 4 teams playing. However as 3 of the teams had only 1 member of the original team playing, by default, the winners were Iain Mcalister and his rink of Iain Callan, Louise O'Donnelly and Douglas Carruthers (sub).

Following a lovely meal in the restaurant the final took place at the slightly earlier time of 5pm with 2 complete teams taking part! After a great game the winners were:

Bill Marshall, Alison McRae, Tom Roche and Douglas Carruthers. Congratulations!

A very special thank-you to all the subs who played on Sunday it was a great way to kick-off the season!
