2025-26 League with The Gangrels

From January to March 2026, Ayr and Alloway play for the Crawford Cup, while Gangrels play for the President's Cup.

The 5th round of the President's and Crawford Cups were played at Greenacres on Mon 2 Mar when Gangrels 2 (Lawrence (S), Niblock, Charters, Galloway) faced the league leaders A&A3 (R Wilson (S), Ireland, L Wilson, Haddow) on Sheet C and Gangrels 1 (McFadzean (S), Cherry, Watson, Peat) played A&A2 (Mitchell (S), H Kennedy, Shanks, McKinley) on Sheet D.

Gangrels 2 started strongly and took the first 4 ends to lead 8-0 but A&A3 relied positively by taking the next 2 ends to then lie 3-8 at the end of the 6th. Gangrels 2 successfully concluded the game by taking a single at the 7th and a further 3 at the 8th to shake hands as winners 12-3.

On the adjacent sheet, A&A2 also took singles in the first 4 ends to be 4 up at the 5th. Bob Cherry then had an awkward fall on the ice and injured a thigh muscle which resulted in him having to withdraw from the game. Spurned on by this misfortune, Gangrels 1 then took a 4 followed by a further 3 to draw ahead 7-4 at the end of the 6th. As the bell rang, A&A2 took a single at the end of the 7th to lose 5-7.

The overall results table is attached/below.

Social curling, yet competitive

League & Knockout

We had eight rinks in the league playing each other once per season. The Knockout was played as a league, with eight rinks. We entered two rinks in the Day League.

Other Curling

We played several inter-club "friendlies", and entered rinks in many of the open competitions including the Eglinton Jug and Rink Championship. We also played Points, Pairs and a Cue Competition.

Social Side

We have a pre-season barbecue or picnic, group practice sessions, coaching and various social nights. The prizegiving and AGM are preceded by a meal held in the Prestwicj St Nicholas Golf Club.
