Our season so far ...

The season started at the Greenacres Masters in September, as usual it was the first time on the ice as a team and things were a wee bit shaky! We managed to get things together and came through the round-robin unbeaten, this set-up a semi-final against Gina Aitken which we won through. Our opposition in the final were Team Gray, the current Scottish Junior Champions, the Gray rink were the better team on the day, so we had to settle for the runners-up spot.

Next, it was on to the Kinross Classic.  Hazel was unable to attend this one so we drafted in our old team-mate Carolyn Clark for a last competition before she headed for a year in Australia. We enjoyed this one with plenty of giggles along the way and the curling was alright as well. We finished up third in the High-road after bowing out to the Mansion team in the semi-finals.

We were back in action the next week at Forfar this time in the Ladies Tour.  Again we were a player down and thankfully local junior Lesley Young was happy to step in.  Our aim for the weekend was to win a game and see how we fared against the more experienced Ladies teams.  We seemed to find our form and found ourselves unbeaten with one round-robin game remaining.  We met Jackie Lockhart in our final game and managed to edge the win.  Unfortunately, we lost our form a bit in the final against Gail Munro and we were well beaten.  We had a great weekend and would like to say thanks to all the organisers for putting it together, especially Judith McFarlane. 

Next up is the Inverness Invitation weekend so we will keep you posted with how things go there.
