A few of Bob's snaps from Lockerbie.

Final day at Lockerbie.
Our early start turned into a long day for us today.
We met Rebecca Steven in the first game. We played well and managed to get ahead, the Steven rink came back but we held on to win.
Three wins from three set up a game with the competition leaders, Team Muirhead.
Before we started it looked like whoever won would progress to the final.
It was a close game, we pushed ahead slightly and were two up going into the final end but without last stone. The end didn't quite go to plan and Eve took the two she needed to peel. Not the outcome anyone had expected and due to the Schenkel system we were to face Eve again in the final!
So, round two!
Another close affair for most of the game. Again we played well and had chances to go ahead. Unfortunately we didn't get enough of a lead and a three in the 6th for Eve changed the game. Skip's taking the blame for that one! :) We managed a one in the 7th to leave ourselves one down without in the last end.
We didn't set the end up quite right and good play from Team Muirhead gave them one and the win.
Congratulations to Eve, Anna, Vicki and Rhiann.
Hannah Fleming and Gina Aitken were the two teams due to play for third and fourth place but decided to share the prize and get home early.
In the boys competition, Duncan Menzies rink beat Stuart Marshall in the final.
It was another good competition for us, we have been consistent if nothing else this season.
Up next, the finals at Aberdeen. We're excited and hoping to put in another strong performance there.
That's all for now,
Team King xoxo

Lockerbie - Game 2
We were up against Anna Fowler's rink in our second game today. The Fowler team have made the trip up from England for this weekends' competition.
It was another close encounter for us. We traded ones and twos throughout the game and found ourselves one down going into the last end. We built the end well and managed to take a three to win.
Two wins from two, so far so good.
We have an early start tomorrow with our first game at 8:30am against Rebecca Steven.

Game 1 at Lockerbie.
We were glad that we decided to make the journey down to Lockerbie last night after waking up to snow this morning. Thankfully all the teams made it to the ice rink on time.
We faced Team Gray in the first game today and it was a close one. No one scored more than a two throughout and we were peels going into the last end. The end didn't quite go to plan for us but we were left with a hit and stick for the win. We made it and posted our first win.
We are sitting in the middle of the table but unsure of our opposition for the next game.
More later,

Lockerbie
We are finally back on ice this weekend after what seems like a pretty long break. We are in action at Lockerbie in the Under 21's. There are ten teams in both the girls and boys section and the competition is being run on a Schenkel system this year.
Our first game is against Lauren Gray at 12:15pm tomorrow.
As usual we will do our best to keep the blog up to date with our results.

What's catching our eye this weekend ...
Team King are not in action ourselves this weekend but there is plenty of curling that we will be keeping our eyes on.
The junior qualifiers got underway at Ayr this afternoon. Along with us, Eve Muirhead, Lauren Gray and Hannah Flemming's rinks all have byes to the finals in January. That leaves 10 girls teams competing for the remaining four finals places. In the boys competition there are no byes which means that 17 rinks are fighting for just 8 finals places.
The standard of curling will undoubtedly be very high and we would like to wish all of the teams good luck for the weekend!
Elsewhere, the European Championships start in Champery this weekend. The Scottish rinks, skipped by Eve Muirhead and Hammy McMillian, have finally made it to Switzerland and begin their campaigns tomorrow morning.
Again, Good luck to both teams!
We will be back on ice in a couple of weeks at Lockerbie.
