2025-26 League with The Gangrels

From January to March 2026, Ayr and Alloway play for the Crawford Cup, while Gangrels play for the President's Cup.

The final round of the President's/Crawford Cups was played on Mon 23 Mar at Greenacres having been rescheduled from 9 Feb when the ice booked had to be cancelled due to an ice condition problem on the day. 

On Sheet A, Gangrels 3 (Reynolds (S), Hogg, Henry, Mutter) played A&A2 (Mitchell (S), H Kennedy, Shanks, Smith) and surged into a commanding lead to be 8 shots up by the end of the 3rd. A&A retaliated by taking 5 shots over the next 2 ends but Gangrels 3 closed the door by taking singles in the last 2 ends to win 10-5.

On Sheet B, Gangrels 2 (Stubley (S), Galloway, Lawrence, Niblock) met a radically restructured A&A 1 (Todd (S), Black, Thow, J Cherry) and both Rinks struggled to correctly gauge the variations in the swing and pace of the ice. Notwithstanding, A&A1 took a lead of 4 in the first end but Gangrels 2 then scored 8 over the next 2 ends. A&A shortened the deficit by scoring 2 in the 4th end to lie 6-8 but Gangrels moved ahead again over the remaining 3 ends to shake hands 13-6 winners.
The overall results are attached with Gangrels 3 being winners with 10 Points and securing their Club's President Cup, second was Gangrels 2 with 8 Points and 3rd, but winners of their Club's Crawford Cup, was A&A3, skipped by Ronnie Wilson, with 6 Points.
