Rosehearty Bowling Club

The club was delighted to host our various sponsors yesterday for our annual sponsors tournament. We can only reiterate our thanks to all our fantastic sponsors for their contributions. It is greatly appreciated and we hope everyone enjoyed their day yesterday. Played in a convivial but definitely competitive atmosphere, there was nothing to separate several teams at the end of the group stage. It came down to a 1 bowl shoot out to determine the finalists. Strichen Lodge and Stephen Duncan Heating and Plumbing made it to the final. In the end it was Stephen, John, Michael and Alistair who claimed the victory. Well done all and hopefully see you all again next year!

IAN THOMSON MEMORIAL PAIRS

Last Saturday we had a great afternoon playing in the 2nd Ian Thomson Memorial Pairs with a fantastic turnout of club members, family and friends who all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Another special day for a special man who dedicated so much time for the club.

Well done to Graham Ritchie & Graham Reid who won the tournament this year. 👏🏻

This Saturday sees us host our Sponsors Open Competition. The trash talking began weeks ago and all sorts of side rivalry plots are taking shape! Who will claim the bragging rights and who will be left nursing a bruised ego!? Anyone not playing is more than welcome to come along and enjoy what is normally a fun and sociable afternoon. For those who are playing, please see below for the group draws and order of play. If everyone could aim to be there by 1.45pm please and we will get started at 2pm sharp. Once again, we thank all of our amazing sponsors for their ongoing support of the club ❤️

The club championship reached its conclusion tonight. Guaranteed a new name on the trophy and both players having played well en route to the final, they would have both been fancying their chances. After losing a 2 in the first end, Phil then raced ahead and thereafter Keith never quite managed to replicate the form of previous rounds. Phil kept piling them in on the draw and never relented. Two deserving finalists who have both played very well this season. Unlucky to Keith Duthie and congratulations go to this year's champion Phil Anderson.

Tonight saw the culmination of our new handicap singles competition. A back and forth final kept the spectators entertained. The players were well matched in handicap (a difference of 1) and so it proved on the green, finishing 21-18. Unlucky to Marc Thomson and congratulations to Gordon Watt.

Tonight we have two finals at the club. We have the final of the club championship where for the first time in several years, we are guaranteed a new name on the trophy. We have Keith Duthie v Phil Anderson starting at around 6.30pm. We also have the inaugural final of our new handicap singles competition. Marc Thomson takes on Gordon Watt in that one. Best of luck to all playing.

Not to be in the semi-final tonight. A 6-2 defeat away to an extremely strong Ellon team. The match hung in the balance all night and in a grandstand finish, was settled in the final ends of the triples and the rinks. We thank our hosts for their hospitality and wish them all the best in the final.

Another fantastic 6-2 win in the Top 10 tonight. This time against against an excellent Cruden Bay team. That takes us to the semi-finals tomorrow evening, where we visit the league champions, Ellon Bowling Club. Ellon are always more than welcoming to visitors if anyone from the club wants to come along and support the team.
