last minute warm up... Zumba style

Team curloneout enjoyed a Zumba session as a warm up for this weekends Scottish Playdowns.  The teams sponsor Lee Johns Gentleman's club provided a qualified Zumba instructor free of charge to get the team into shape for the strenuous weekend.  The team were put through their paces by " Chavvy Vavvy" and fortunately official camera woman Kirsten McNay was there to capture the action.  Featured here is a special solo by Kenny the wing .....



Curloneout just completed the final training session at Lockerbie Ice Rink.  After 15 jaegerbombs the team decided the ice looked lovely from the bar and they should just go home.

 
Best of luck to all teams playing this weekend and keep track of curloneouts progress on the blog......

last minute training session....

Happy new year to you all! Curloneout must apologize for the lack of recent posts on the blog.  The lack of posts has been due to the fact Robbo has been busy welding and grafting hard, Gracie has been Firefighting hard , Mogi has been keeping the roads open and working hard and em Kenny the wing has been sitting at a desk making cardboard boxes...... 
As the competitive curling is just round the corner The team launched into a strict strength and conditioning programme  and last weekend saw the team reach their peak during a Zumba session.  In collaboration with Lee Johns Gentleman's club the team busted some shapes on the dance floor and it was all going well untill Kenny Edwards broke the "no wine before nine" rule.  After several bottles at Skip Duncan Gracies pad the calipers were well and truly off and the teams strengths were put to great use.  Fortunately Official Curloneout Camera woman Kirsten McNay caught all the action unfolding and here is the footage!

Super league defeat

Team curl one out were at full strength for their super league game on Tuesday night and were hoping to put in a good performance in preparation for this years Scottish championships. The opponents were the team of Jamie ‘Jockstrap’ Strawhorn, after loosing the toss it was Jamie who elected to try and steal the first end with the format being skins. As always a slow starting Gracie was forced to try and carry the first end over, a draw to the button was required and the cuddly Gracie obliged. The second end was a complete disaster with the team playing 0% and Jamie picking up the double skin and 8 points. The 3rd end was a little better but a nice take out from Craig Strawhorn put pay to any chance of a skin and another carry over, 4th end and 3rd player Scott Robertson decided it was time to make things interesting by throwing his take out towards B sheet and completely missing everything! The result was a 24-0 defecit at the midway point. Skip and lead Kenny Edwards rallied his troops and gave them a stern ticking off and told the team to get there fingers out and told Dave Morton to stop sucking his thumb. The 5th end was a little better but once again Gracie was left in a difficult position and was unable to register. With their backs against the wall it was imperative the team got on the board and they did in the 6th and stole the single the needed. 7th end and some superior set up play by lead Kenny Edwards meant Gracie was left with an east tap back on a tight guard to pick up 2. Well Gracie must have thought he was trying to tap a stone in Dumfries as he played the tap at peel weight & blasted it through the back and gave up the skin. With the game all but over the score was 50-12, the teams both kept the house clear meaning a draw the shot was taken to determine the final skin winner. Fire-fighter Gracie went first and amazingly plopped it right on the money covering the lid perfectly. Jamie was feeling the pressure and his usually steady slide was rather shaky as he set off to draw the pin, sweeping like a 40 year old vigin even Sandy Smith couldn’t get it to the four foot and the skin went to team curl one out. Final score 50-30

‘Disappointing defeat but we will learn from this’ said Scott the 3rd player, ‘a few more training sessions are needed before we hit top form’ he added.

From Moscow with love xxx

Takin time out to see the sights
Team curl one out’s spying mission continues in Moscow, today our inside man headed for Red Square. He tried to get into see the body of the famous Lennon but the high security put pay to his attempt and the decision was made to bail out and go for some lunch instead.

Our spy’s findings are beginning to make their way through and the feedback from him is the standard is ‘very low’. He also commented that ‘should the team of curl one out represent Scotland at the worlds, there is nothing to fear’.

A full detailed report will be issued upon our spy’s return.

Man down in Moscow!!!

Team curl one out’s spying mission in Moscow is going well, ‘the standard is pretty low out there on the Men’s side’ said our spokes person. On arriving at the airport our spy picked up a copy of Maxim magazine and much to his astonishment he found some rather compromising pictures of the Russian Women’s Lead Ekaterina Galkina.

Our spy is now currently recovering from blindness and serious cramp in his right arm & hand. Our Bet365 predictor is going well with our balance sitting £56.43 in the black…..wooooooo! But could have been another £100 had Murdoch not lost to Snitil!!!!!

Moscow Spy

Team curl one out in association with Bet365 are pleased to announce that for the forth coming European Curling Championships we will cover all games with outstanding odds. The team have even sent a spy out to Moscow to see what the team may be up against at this years World Championships. Scott Robertson 3rd player said “we’ve had to send out a spy to take a look at what we’re going to be up against, due to other public appearances we have been unable to make an impact on the European tour this year. Moscow is a great place and an opportunity for our unnamed individual to attend was on offer so we took it with both hands, with Vodka only being £3 a bottle I’m sure a few training sessions will take place.
