crashing out....

Curloneout 5 - 8 Sloan

Team Curloneout failed to qualify for sundays quarter final matches at Dumfries Ice Rink.  In the last group game the team faced the top of the section team Graham Sloan.  After loosing a schoolgirl 5 in the second, team curloneout were always on the backfoot as Sloan's team hit for home perfectly.  Sloan took the five with some impressive shotmaking and unimpressive play from all on team curloneout.  Sloan played for home and played superbly to not give the team a chance to get back into it.  In the 6th end David "Fishy Fishbeck" Morton did some quick carol vorderman maths and realised the team were short on ends.  After the final stone it emerged the team lost out on a quarter final spot by one end.  Speaking after the game Skip Duncan Gracie said " Obviously we are disappointed to be out at such an early stage however it is clearly not our fault.  The blame lies entirely with the schenkel system  and the draw! Joking aside it was a tricky couple of games against McCleary and Sloan and some poor shots cost us.  Our injury woes caused us staffing problems and team nutritionist scott Hamilton was clearly not up to the job being outplayed by is 11 year old cousin"
