Weekend Round Up

Now that the teams are all headed home and the organising committee have had a good night's sleep we thought a final round up of the weekend's results was in order.

The hot shots competition was won by Mhairi Baird and Colin Howden, pictured below with Gordon Smith from sponsor Petrofac.

The prize giving opened with a welcome from Curl Aberdeen Chairman Stephen Burnett who thanked the Lord Provost, Petrofac, the ice rink staff and competition committee and most importantly the competitors for a wonderful weekend of play.
