World Curling Championship 2008 - Rotary Club of Perth Curlers set off earlier this year to the 19th Rotary World Curling Championships in Brantford, Ontario, Canada which are played on a bi-annual basis in either Scotland or Canada/USA alternatively. The 2010 Championship will return to Perth after a 28 year absence.
The 5 man team of Alistair Ritchie, Bill Duncan, Alay Milne, Hamish Milne and Russell McCabe played a minimum of 9 games in the round robin stages of the competition against 3 rinks each from Canada (Niagara Falls/Bethesda, Stratford & Barrie) and USA (Clarksville, Florida/Bethesda and Madison), a rink from Berwick-on-Tweed, England, and two other Scottish rinks both representing the Rotary Club of Forfar. The competition started on Sunday 30th March at the Brantford Golf & Country Club (which will host the Nokia Ontario Provincial Championships in 2009), and ran through the round robin matches until Thursday 3rd April, with the top 4 rinks then qualifying for the semi finals and final which were played on Friday 4th April.
A Friendship Bonspiel for those clubs who didn't qualify for the Championships this year attracted 10 teams with 7 rinks from Canada and 3 from Scotland with a joint rink representing both Perth Kinnoull and Perth St. Johns Rotary Clubs ready to take up that challenge.
Perthshire Rotary Curling League: Season 2007/2008
In the penultimate game of the 2007/08 Perthshire Rotary Curling League, the Rotary Club of Perth rink of Hamish Milne, Bill Duncan, Russell McCabe and Alay Milne scored a big three at the last end of their game against this year's Rams Head finalists Perth Kinnoull, to edge them them out by one shot. This moved the team up the league towards the middle with 6 points, and should mean that we won't be the recipient of the Wooden Spoon.
The final League fixture of the season, saw Sandy Pearson with Ian Macmillan, George Thomson and Robin King snatch a draw from the jaws of victory, leading 9-3 with two ends to go, they managed to lose two three counts to peel with Dunblane. This left Perth with 7points in the final league placings, but well behind this year's winners Crieff who retained the league title, whilst Pitlochry had their worst season for many a year picking up the Wooden Spoon for the first time since 1971.
The runners up from this year and last years play off to become the 3rd team to represent Scotland at this year's Rotary World Curling Championship to be held in Brantford, Ontario in late March. As Perth have been runners up both years to Forfar they automatically take this place and a team from our club will play in the Rotary World Curling Championship Finals, joining the two Forfar rinks for a trip to Canada.
