Saturday at Deen

Team Smith minus Hazel took to the ice this morning to play Team Adams, we played well and steadly throughout. Team Smith stole a 2 in the 3rd then Adams took their 1 in the 4th, we stole again in the 6th and 7th ends. We kept the last end simple and Naomi had no need to play her last stones. Team Smith had the win 6-2.

We now have a bye due to Sarah Reid pulling out of the competition, so as per its lunch time for Team Smith. Our next game is tomorrow morning at 9am against Judith McFarlane.

2nd leg of Womens Tour - Aberdeen

We arrived safe and sound at Curl Aberdeen ice rink for the last stage of the Womens Tour. To start we had a lovely wee meal before our first game against Maggie Wilson, whom we hadn't yet beaten this season. We got off to a slow start but quickly got back on the mend after the 5th end when we stole a 2 then another in the 6th, the game ended 11-4 after we took a 6 in the last. Well done team as I (Hazel) had to go of due to injury during the game against Maggie!

The team are now going to play with 3 players until Sunday morning. Current game is Smith V Adams.

Sunday at Inverness

Team Smith were all up for the game this morning after a good rest for most of the day yesterday as we had our bye, we were up against Katie Murray and her team of Laura Ritchie, Sophie Jackson and Jenni Cannon for the quarter final, Sophie played one end and went off due to a sore leg so it was down to three. The first end was kept clear and blanked with Murray's team having hammer then they took their two in the second which was then taken back by Team Smith in the third. This was followed by a steal of a two in the fourth, by the last end it was even stevens and an extra end was to be played...which was blanked. A draw the shot challenge was to decide who won and Team Smith finally took the win in the end.

It was then onto the semi final against Team Aitken, we were out to win this game as Team Aitken had previously beaten us in the section game which was close. The game started off well for us as we forced the one and then took a five back in the second end, we then blanked the third and took our two in the fourth. The game ended 7-3 and we shook on the sixth end. It was now final time but who would we be against Jennifer Dodds or Maggie Wilson?

Our final game was against Maggie Wilson and her team, this was another game we had lost earlier in the weekend and we hoped this wouldn't happen again. The game started off smoothly for both sides, the game was four each after the fourth end and both teams were playing consistantly well. The end to decide the game was the seventh, we were still peels and a freeze for a steal for Team Smith wasn't successful so Team Wilson took a three to decide the game, we ran out of stones in the eighth end to compete. Overall both teams played well and it was a great final. Well Done Team Wilson.
