Cuthbertson League Update
The Cuthbertson League is now entering squeaky bum time, skips are looking at the fixtures and realizing that there’s only three games, or in some cases two games left in the season! Again, another highly competitive league. This is the state of play:
Promotion Places: Currently sitting top of the tree is David Mundell with his ensemble on 10 points. With 5 wins from 6, he is in fine form and he sits 2 points clear of young guns Wallace Gilbert in 2nd and Craig Kirkwood in 3rd. Although crucially Wallace does have a game in hand on his compatriots and with 4 wins from 5, he’s also firing. Like the teams above him, Craig’s team has only lost 1 game but like so many in this league he has drawn a couple of fixtures. With Kirky on Maternity leave, Big Eeky steered the rink to victory in their last outing.
Midtable: Well if your name’s not Reid you ain’t getting in! With Gavin, Dougie and Hugh all of the Reid persuasion locked on 5 points apiece, along with last year’s golden boy Andy Muir in 7th, 7 shots separates the 4 teams. Gavin sits 4th with a superior goal difference but again has played 1 more game than the rest. Gav crucially gubbed Dougie Reid on his last outing and leapfrogged Dougie, Shug and Andy in a breathtaking movement. In all fairness Dougie’s team were very unlucky on the night as Gavin’s third Hugh Guthrie wasn’t available to play. Hugh and Dougie will face off on Sunday night with a win for either team putting them clear of the relegation places and still in the hunt for promotion.
Relegation Zone: Andy Muir is struggling to repeat last season’s heroics but is only in the relegation zone as a result of being 1 shot worse off than Hugh. Billy Jackson sits second bottom with 1 win from 5, a vastly experienced team but just not getting the results. James Whiteford sits bottom with a 100% record this season! Consistency is key and unfortunately for James they’ve been very consistent. Still the opportunity for safety, but a lot to do.
This Weeks Fixtures:
- Billy Jackson vs Gavin Reid
- Andrew Muir vs James Whiteford
- Hugh Reid vs Douglas Reid
- Craig Kirkwood vs Wallace Gilbert
