Being new to curling and also being a competitive athlete I was no long able just to practice. Having had four traning sessions under my belt I signed up to compete with the Universities team in Lothian (Edinburgh area) curling league. The four person team was comprized of two seasoned curlers, another newbe and myself. The other team was comprized of late forties to mid fifty year olds that had been curling from a young age. As you might geuss they were infact better then we were. Well better then me and my newbe brothern. My team were able to get some points through out the meet but we did end up losing by lets say over five points.
But I had a great time, most of the stones I throw ended up in play and half of those half went in the general area that I wanted them to. Oh also in the curling world after the match the winners buy the losers a drink. So a very socialible fourty something women bought me a coke. Not a bad day over all and I got to learn what it was to curl competitivly.
