The past week has given several members the opportunity to gain experience by competing against the "experienced"!
At short notice we got together a team to play in the Wilson Trophy and it certainly was an experience! We were up against Kinross men who were very proficient in all shots but especially take outs when we had actually managed to place a stone in an advantageous position! Despite our 16 - 2 defeat we all thoroughly enjoyed the game. Guidance from their skip was gratefully received, some lessons were learnt and we were reassured we had done well against a tough opposition.
We had a helpful club coaching session last Saturday with the emphasis on delivery. Feeling a little more confident and keen to practise what we had learnt we took part in a Friendly match the day after against Orwell Ladies. Another enjoyable curling session despite the 9 -2 defeat!
Far from being deflated we are all looking forward to further curling "experiences"!
