Month: April 2018

On Friday 13th April a large contingent of Petroleum members turned out to say goodbye to Dave and Louise Edwards, who are moving south to North Berwick after 20 years in Aberdeen.

Ian Grigor planned an excellent itinerary that included drinks at Under the Hammer, dinner at Rusticos, and karaoke at McNasties.   After a good meal the departing couple were presented with a painting by the members, which hopefully will find a place in their new house and remind them of happy times in Aberdeen.  Louise bravely joined in the singing, with Dave providing moral support from the safety of the audience.  Ian proved that he really is a good musician.

Our loss will be Murrayfield Ice Rink’s gain – both have made a great contribution to curling in this area and they leave a gap that will be difficult to fill.

ps they havent gone yet – the whole Edwards family is due to attend our AGM and barbecue on 13th May.

Congratulations to Dave Edwards who has won the A division of the Aberdeen superleague in his last game of curling in this area before moving on to pastures new.  Dave’s team of Scott Macleod, Rhiann Macleod, and Kenny Rae have now topped the superleague for 2 years running – a great achievement.   We hope you will be wearing your winner’s jacket at Murrayfield Dave !

Runners up were Dave Robertson’s team of Ian Grigor, Chris Inglis, and Sarah Glidden – well done to these Petroleum members also.

And in the D division Rod MacKenzie came top having only formed his new team at the beginning of this season.  Rod together with Philip Scott, Phil Townsend, Fraser Garrow, Chloe Grigor, and Fraser Grant will be competing in the C league next season, where we are confident that they will continue to do well.

With the conclusion of the 17-18 season for NE Province competitions we are pleased to report three wins for Petroleum teams.

Bill Morrison’s team of Rosemary, Phil S, Phil T, and Rod won the Province A division in a close final game against Banchory 2.   The whole competition came down to the last end of this game, in which Bill managed a steal to take the end, the game, and the league.  Outstanding.  Bill’s team will now represent NE Province in the inter-province competition next season.

Apologies to Rosemary who is missing from the above pic.

The Province B league was won by Ian Grigor, ably supported by Rhiann, Chris, Sarah, and Fraser G – sorry no photo is available for this team who are all a bit shy.

The Province singles competition this season took the form of a round robin league, giving more games than the previous knockout format.  Once again Petroleum players were victorious with our team led by Rod MacKenzie lifting the trophy.  Rod’s singles team included Ian, Ronnie, Dillan, Phil S, Sarah, and Rhiann.  Well done all.

A full sweep for the club was prevented by Haddo CC, who beat Petroleum onto second place in the Double team competition.

This was a very strong performance for the club – well done to all the Petroleum members who contributed.  Prizes will be presented at the Province AGM on 26th April.

 

 

 

Yes, super-skip Dillan Perras has topped the Petroleum Club league in both autumn and spring competitions for the second year running.   In the autumn competition Dillan was supported by Cheryl, Lorna, and Malcolm ; and his Spring team comprised Sarah, Neva, Phil Scott, and Karen.  Trophies will be presented at the club AGM on 13th May.  Can Dillan be beaten ? … any (legal) suggestions to the secretary please.

Congratulations to Dillan and to both of his teams.
