gents singles championship final
Adam Brock v David McNair
Wednesday, 1st September
Congratulations to the Bainfield 2021 Gents Singles Champion
ADAM BROCK
Result - Adam Brock 21 - 5 David McNair
In a pretty one sided final Adam beat reigning champion David McNair 21 - 5 to lift the trophy for the first time in five attempts!
However, there was no stopping the club President on this occasion.
Adam came flying out of the traps and quickly started nailing his preferred short to three quarter length jacks. David, whilst not playing badly simply didn't have an answer for him tonight.
The attached photograph shows a very happy club champion being presented with his trophy from Vice President Robert Henderson.

Gents Rink Final
Monday, 30th August
Congratulations to Malcolm Cook, Robert Henderson, Mike Sutherland and Stuart Wilson on becoming Bainfield Gents Rink Champions for 2021.
Result (Skips) - Stuart Wilson 17 - 16 Gary Neil
In a gripping game played in rapidly declining daylight The four held off a late challenge from Jimmy Glasgow, Gordon Falconer, Dick Wilson and Gary Neil to lift the title
Apart from the fact that the light was getting really gloomy the temperature dropped like a stone as well!
The difficult conditions didn't stop Gary from burning the last end to try and get the 2 shots needed to force an extra end.
However, the one shot eventually gained was not enough!
The finals keep coming with the Gents singles championship due to take place on Wednesday, 1st September at 6pm

In a game in hot conditions it took the last end for the game to be finally decided when a decisive match winning 3 was scored.
It was good to see a large number of spectators who appeared to enjoy the match, as all players were complimented on the high quality of the match.
