This season’s Beeby Trophy saw four rinks battle it out to lift the coveted cup in a pre-festive ice-off. In the semi-finals, the afternoon rink of J. Urquhart beat K. Hutton’s team 8-5 for a place in the final. The evening fixture saw I. Ferguson’s rink overcome the squad lead by C. MacInnes in a close encounter 6-5. The final on the 19th December saw the team of I. Ferguson, K. Spence, S. Alexander and G. Johnstone beat team Urquhart 6-2 to take home the trophy.

The afternoon A-League remains a tight contest with team Urquhart a nose in front on ends on a record of 3 wins to 3 losses. However, both team McNee (3-2) and Hutton (2-3) are close behind. All to play for!

The B-League, by contrast, has seen an early leader dominate with team Ferguson 3-0 at the turn of the year. Team MacInnes are 1-2 and Spence 1-3.

In November two teams from Falkirk CC played in the Dunn Trophy neither able to secure a win and the club ending up 6th out of 9 teams after scoring 6 ends. Congratulations to team Kilsyth who took the trophy with a score of 10 ends.

In the small clubs league, Falkirk CC continues the blistering pace set at the start of the season with a very impressive seven wins out of eight games. The most recent result an 11-2 win against Grangemouth making it a double victory against the ‘Kelpie’ rivals in this seasons league. Dunblane remain the closest markers with 6 wins so far, although an impressive tie-breaker shots up tally of +42 for Falkirk compares to Dunblane’s +7. Falkirk will be hoping to exact revenge on Bonnybridge on the 30th January as the only team to beat the Bairns in the league this season.

In October we learned of the sad passing of club member Jim Marvin. Jim had a very cheery nature which will be much missed. He was an extremely keen curler to be on the ice, even in his later months despite his deteriorating health.
