Curl Aberdeen staff wins competition

Black Bottle Club Bonspiel

The club held its first of three one day bonspiels on Saturday, with Meldrum & Daviot the winning rink, Ryan Craik (Skip), Lewis Stephen, Stuart McLachlan,Teresa Hood, Megan MacPherson, Nicol Craik were in the team during the day. The feed back from members has been positive, and this competition seems it can be sustained, which is great. It was a great social day with lots of food to fill you up and plenty of teas & coffees for refreshments. A big Thanks goes to all who participated on the day, Black Bottle for the sponsorship and to Albert for being our MC on the day, as well as keeping myself and Ryan correct on the Schenkel scoring, thanks again Albert! Hope to see you all participating in the same spirit in the second installment of the bonspiel.

Another member of the club, Fraser Kingan, was also playing this competition with Team Bryce. They made the Semi's, losing to Team Fleming, and overall finishing 4th.

Whenever Team Edwards wins on the Scottish Curling Tour this season, that means just one thing, Team Brewster wins a competition in Switzerland. Yes, Tom and his team did it again, winning the Champery Masters in an extra end. Well done Tom and his team. You can watch their final here. Tom wasn't just Curling this weekend he was also commentating on games.
