Men Round 4 - a tribute to John Brown

The heading is not intended to be misleading: John is very much alive and well - we have just shared the same ice sheet for the best part of two hours so we are well placed to judge. Unfortunately the game ended in defeat for John and thus any remaining hope of skipping his team to the Championship were eliminated. John is Mr English Curling and, to some extent, Mr Curling. His log of statsitics is legendary (every game he has ever played plus the English curling annals), his service as a member of the English Curling Association and as their representative on European curling committees, our fifth man at the Euopeans in December last year, a long term contributer to "Scottish Curling" flying the St George's flag and still a strong player representing England at senior level. And still very competitive at national level. So it was not to be this year but stick in John, English curling absolutely needs dedicated people like you and we look forward to competing against you next year.

So that said, a win for Team Malton and a win for Team Macdougall so standings Malton 4 wins, MacDougall 3 wins, Bowyer 1 win and Brown being the strongest team supporting the rest.

Bananas! It seems we are the banana team. We respond by playing strongly immediately after a banana. Steal our bananas and we will be in trouble! Must be something to do with blood sugars but we will work on that another day. For now we are guarding our bananas.

Its toasties for now with next game at 2.30 (do the organisers not know about the Six Nations Rugby?!)
