On Tuesday 28th March ten Petroleum members took part in a club points competion. We managed to complete 7 of the disciplines in the 2 hour slot available. This was a great test of our curling, and especially the “wick in” shot proved tricky for some. Rod Mackenzie came top with 34 points, followed by Ian Grigor on 31. Sarah Glidden was close behind on 29 points. Well done to all who took part.

The Petroleum thirds league was completed this week. Congratulations to Philip Scott who was the top skip, winning 4 of the 6 games in a double round robin. Philip’s team included Karen, Alistair, Angie, Erika, and Ian. The runner up was Lianne. Results are on the competitions page.

Congratulations to Ian Grigor who with his team of Philip, Karen, Alistair, and Angie has won the club Spring League. Bill Morrison was runner up, losing out with one fewer end. This completes a double for Ian, who also won the autumn league.

On Saturday 14th January a team from Aberdeen Petroleum played against the touring US men’s team. Petroleum were represented by Roy (skip), Bill, Rod, and Giles in an afternoon fixture. Petroleum won 6-3 after 8 ends. The usual pleasantries and gifts were exchanged and we all attended the evening dinner at Curl Aberdeen, joined by Rosemary Morrison and Joanna Mackey. A very enjoyable occasion for the four of us. We were one of the few success stories of the day, as overall there was a deficit of 21 shots to the USA after the 8 games were completed.
