Aberdeen Petroleum came out narrowly on top on conclusion of the Province’s double team competition at Curl Aberdeen last week.
Five clubs entered “double” teams each comprising 8 players and the format was a round robin with each team playing 4 double games. The special feature of this competition is that after 4 ends one of the teams swops over to the other sheet for the second half of the game, and games are decided by the combined total score across both sheets. So players are tempted to watch what is happening on the next sheet as well as on their own. After the third game Petroleum were sitting 3 for 3, but a disappointing performance in our final game against Banchory led to a 15-12 defeat. This left Petroleum tied with Haddo on points, but the yellows finished ahead thanks to more ends and points difference. Well skipped by Ian and Rhiann (who also won this competition last year), and well played by all the Petroleum members who made up their teams across the 4 games.
