Opening Day Bonspiel

23 September 2014

The successful format of the 40th Anniversary Bonspiel was repeated with great success at yesterday's Opening Day.

There were three sessions and each club was invited to send a rink to play , either for the President's Rinks or the Past President's.

In the 11.00 am session the scores were tied at 31 shots apiece and by a remarkable coincidence the 2.00 pm session was also tied at 31 shots each.

However, the new President, Bobby Ireland, must have inspired his troops because they had a substantial victory by 48 shots to 27 in the evening session.

Charlie was accompanied by his wife Rosemary, one of the driving forces behind Kyle Figure Skating Club.
