Contrary to previous reports, Division 17 have NOT been relegated.  Hamilton only obtained 1 point from their final match thus leaving us with a 5 point cushion!

Something else worth mentioning is that Jim McNaught and Bill Anderson were the only two players to have won all 7 matches in the Lanarkshire League 2009 season. They achieved the record of 7 out of 7 in Division 7! Both players were in the same rink throughout the campaign and this is a tremendous feat. Congratulations to Jim and Bill!

Our team got off to a great start and were 12-6 up, however, Castlehill forced their way back into the game and managed to end up winning a fantastic match 16-12. 

Hopefully, the guys can go one better next year!

Those of you who have logged onto the website over the last couple of weeks would have noticed that the website was unavailable. Apoligies for this. I was on holiday and didn’t notice until Kenny nudged me.
