Sunday 21st January was the date for our annual singles competition.

Fresh Ice and all 8 entrants were ready to go, each vowing that they will not be chasing their stones. Of course that (just like our New Year resolutions) went out of the window after the first stone was delivered.

Craig Brown, Dave Carr, Jean Noble and Alex Moir found themselves competing for The Low Road after Jim Ramsay, Dave Anderson, Keith Morris and Kirsty McWilliam progressed to The High Road. Dave C and Alex found themselves in the final after beating their opponent by 1 in their Semi.

The High Road Quarter Final had Jim scoring 4 against Dave A’s 2 while Keith lost by 2 to Kirsty’s 4. All games were very tight and everyone’s sweat glands were now working overtime. Time for the Final between Jim and Kirsty. Jim takes 2 in the first of the 6 ends and Kirsty comes straight back in the 2nd end with an equally impressive 2. Last stone for jim in the 3rd end only managed a 1 but in this very tight game Kirsty had another 2 in the 4th. Yet another 2 for Jim in the 5th left the score at 5-4 for him. Keeping her cool, Kirsty matched and bettered every stone that Jim played around The Buttons the 6th. Kirsty was lying 2 when it was last stone time for Jim who tried to remove both of Kirsty’s stones. He only managed to remove 1 stone but because of stone positions it looked like he was fairly safe to earn a playoff end BUT NO! Kirsty played a fantastic last stone to make the final score 6-5 in her favour which earned her the Singles Trophy.

Thanks go out to those who stayed on to watch the final games and to Dave & Liz Anderson for sponsoring the event and providing refreshments for all involved.
