Leading the way on Sheet A, A&A 2 (J Shanks (S), Hugh Kennedy, G Todd, J Cherry) played A&A3 (D Graham (S) (sub R Wilson), K Ireland, L Wilson, D Haddow). A&A 3 opened the scoring but A&A 2 pulled back to have both sides peeling 3-3 at the end of the 4th. A&A 3 then took a well crafted steal of 4 followed by 2 singles in the last 2 ends to win 9-3.
With his last stone, David Gray drew superbly to sit on the button with little margin for removing. The last stone of the game was going to be crucial if a peel was to be secured, but while seeking to follow David's previous shot in to the house, it lacked that smidgen of weight to take the score. Gangrels 3 therefore won 5-3.
Ayr and Alloway were drawn in the preliminary round of the Province Knockout, against Dalmellington, played on 2 February 2026. AACC rink was Charlie Steele (skip), David Gray, Ken Ireland and Ed Baines.
For the first time, A&A and Gangrels combined to take all 4 sheets of ice at North West Castle and formed 8 Rinks to play a series of festive social curling games on Wed 10 Dec.
The new format of joining forces with The Gangrels proved successful and the first half of the season is complete.
Ayr and Alloway is one the largest clubs that played at Ayr Ice Rink. With the closure of Ayr, we now play at Greenacres, with outings to Stranraer.
It is a particualrly friendly club, with over 40 members, and we are keen to invite anyone to join us. It maybe you would like to try curling for the first time, or you wish to have extra games. Just Send an email to the secretary for more information.
You will not find a friendlier club, but there is still a competitive element. Here are some of the competitions we used to play for when Ayr Ice Rink was open. Hopefully we get back to these competitions when a new curling rink opens.
We have eight rinks in the league playing each other once per
season. The Knockout will be played as a league, with eight rinks. We enter 2 rinks in the Day League.
We play several inter-club "friendlies", and enter rinks in many of the open competitions including the Eglinton Jug and Rink Championship. We also play Points, Pairs and a Cue Competition.
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 Abbotsford Hotel.
