Unbeatable Midcalder
Midcalder Curling Club finished their season off on a high after winning the Edinburgh International Curlers Gathering. The competition is run by Penicuik Curling Club and includes teams from all over the world competing over three days at Murrayfield Curling Rink.
Day one saw Midcalder up against Kelso Reivers in their first match. Playing for Midcalder was Basil Baird, Alan Russell, John Sinclair & Ian Provan and this team got Midcalder off to a great start with a 10-5 victory. In the evening game, Midcalder was up against King Midas of Sweden. Playing for Midcalder was Sophie Sinclair, James Baird, Callum McLean & Ewan Barr and they finished off a great day one by winning 10-4.
Day Two started with Midcalder winning Group 7 after Ian Keron, Alan Russell, Adam Keron & Ian Provan defeated Awesome Sauce from Holland 8-3. The win placed Midcalder in the top group for the final three matches. These got underway with David Baird, Rebecca Baird, Callum Wood & Ewan Barr defeating Penicuik Curling Club 8-3.
The third and final day got underway with Basil Baird, Ian Keron, Alan Russell & Andrew Keron keeping the winning feeling going with a 6-3 victory over Swiss Schimidis of Switzerland. The result left the Midcalder team of David Baird, George Sinclair, Rebecca Baird & Callum Wood needing a draw or a win against Red & Blue from Switzerland in their last match. The match was a very close game with the first two ends being blanked. The big move was made in the fifth end when David drew for a 2 to lead the match 3-1. They kept the last end clear leaving the Swiss skip to draw for a single giving Midcalder a 3-2 win. Well done to everyone who played this weekend. What a fantastic way to end the season!
