I think this is just a wonderful initiative, and wish I could be at Braehead tomorrow to see the youngsters enjoying themselves. Good curling to them all.
The USA touring team looked in at the Dewar's Centre this morning, on route from Inverness to Kelso. Did I mention that they have captured the Herries Maxwell trophy and have had a whale of a time along the way. Read about their exploits on their own blog here.
Well done to Galloway Ladies who had their most memorable moment ever at Stranraer Ice Rink yesterday when a rink from the club scored an eight ender in the Low Road semifinal of the Lyburn Trophy. To add to the tension there was a measure for the eighth stone!Clockwise L-R: Joyce Maitland (2nd), Gillian Campbell (3rd), Isobel McLelland (lead) and Helen Smith (skip). The losing team remain as anonymous as ever. Except of course that they get the Rhona Martin 'Try Harder' award. This award commemorates the fact that Rhona, in the season that she won the Olympic Gold, herself lost an eight at Greenacres. So there you are - lose an eight, win an Olympic medal. Ironically, because of this award, Rhona is actually the only 'I Lost an Eight' curler, who is not anonymous. Is she happy about this? What do you think.
