Sunday saw the start of the new season for Lesmahagow Curling Club with the finals of last season's Medal competitions. The semi's of the Clay Medal took place at 12.15 with 4 teams playing. However as 3 of the teams had only 1 member of the original team playing, by default, the winners were Iain Mcalister and his rink of Iain Callan, Louise O'Donnelly and Douglas Carruthers (sub).
Following a lovely meal in the restaurant the final took place at the slightly earlier time of 5pm with 2 complete teams taking part! After a great game the winners were:
Bill Marshall, Alison McRae, Tom Roche and Douglas Carruthers. Congratulations!
A very special thank-you to all the subs who played on Sunday it was a great way to kick-off the season!
After our delay we are happy to announce that the season will start on Sunday 23rd October with a full day of curling to complete the Medal Competition from last year.
I hope everyone can make the event, please let me know if you will be attending and, if not already in a team, if you would like to sub. The ice is already paid from last year and the cost of High Tea is £13 which includes a tip for Stewart and his team.
As far as the curling goes, the teams are as follows, can I please ask skips to contact their team members and confirm they can play.
