We only had one game today at Aberdeen as we had our bye in the last round robin game. We faced Gillian Howard and her rink of Louise Soutar, Judith Mcfarlane and Fiona Steele.
It was a close game and could have gone either way for most of it but we were edged out in the last end. The Howard team secured there place in the final with the win.
As we said yesterday, the Ladies Tour has been a great competition and we have really enjoyed playing in it over the two weekends. A huge thanks has to go to Judith and all of the organisers for putting together such a fantastic event and we hope that it will continue next season.
Congratulations to Gillian Howard's rink for winning the final and the Lockhart rink for the overall tour win.
We have a bit of a break now, our next competition is at Lockerbie in December.

Aberdeen day two. . .
So, we had three games today at Aberdeen, we needed to win them to keep our hopes of winning overall alive. So how did it go? ...
We played Rebecca Steven in the first game today. We played well and managed to maintain a lead that saw us finish up winning 13-4. Good start.
Things started to fall apart slightly in the second game. We faced Lorna Rettig's English team and were ahead after 4 ends. It was a game of two halves and Lorna's side came back well to take the win.
Our final game today was against Anna Sloan. We struggled to get started in this one and the Sloan team took the win after 7ends.
Not our best day, but we have enjoyed our first experience of Ladies competition and the Ladies Tour has been a great success :)
One game tomorrow, hopefully we can end the competition on a high.

Friday night at Aberdeen.
We started off our weekend against Sarah Reid's rink. It was a close game, we were behind for most of the game but managed to bring it back to peels after seven ends. We didn't have last stone but we stole the one needed to win with a freeze on the four-foot.
In our second game we faced Judith Carr. This one didn't go our way, we weren't playing our best and our opposition played well to beat us 10-6.
Three games for us tomorrow, so its off to bed.

Final day at Inverness
Our final day at Inverness started with the quarter-finals, we played Naomi Whyte in this one. It was another close game but we managed to secure our place in the Semi-final with a 8-6 win.
The semi-final was a reply of our last round-robin game against Anna Sloan's rink. We played well this game and finished up winning 6-2.
So, we then faced Hannah Fleming in the final. As Hazel pointed out this was our third final of the season and we were keen to swap our runners-up medals for winners ones! However, it wasn't to be today. It was a low-scoring game and we took a 3 in the 8th to force an extra end. Unfortunately, it didn't go our way and Hannah took the one she needed to win. Congratulations to the Fleming rink.
It was a long drive home and we couldn't help but be a wee bit disappointed but, we played well and hopefully we can continue to perform the way we have been for the rest of the season :)
It's on to Aberdeen next week for the Ladies Tour.
