The Asham Under-14 Slam started on 18 Finlay wins first February with 19 teams from across Scotland. Sandy Scott deserves a special Asham U14 Slam mention as he and his dad set off from Nairn at 3.30am after other commitments the evening before! The etiquette displayed and shot play was superb and was definitely matched with the level of enthusiasm. All teams played 12 ends of curling in the round-robin stages, and those progressing further played 20 ends in total; a great effort from all. In the final, the Perth & Kinross team of Finlay Campbell, Kerr Sands, Callum Kinnear and Drew Thomson met the Forfar team of Euan McDiarmid, Ewan Maguire, James Craik and Frazer Smith. Finlay played a lovely last stone in the fourth and final end and Euan’s hit and roll from the wing didn’t pull off, which meant that Finlay’s team won the event and carries forward the maximum of 12 ‘Slam’ points to the Aberdeen event on 3 March. The Waterfront Ice Rink was the scene of much frenetic activity earlier this month as it hosted two important curling sessions. The first was the record-breaking attempt Waterfront Rocks by the Waterfront Junior Curling Club to break its own record set up last year in the Curl-a-tonne Challenge to deliver the maximum tonnage of granite up and down the ice in a carefully-controlled period of time. The second was another appearance by the 70th Greenock & District scout troop for a curling taster session. The Curl-a-tonne Challenge was the subject of much speculation. Eighteen junior curlers, aged between 9 and 19 and drawn from all over the Inverclyde area, were formed into six teams of three. They set off at a frantic pace on a given signal and engaged in a properly structured ‘Hotshots’ competition, playing alternate draw and strike shots, gaining points for themselves as well as the team they represented. Following a very exhausting 90 minutes of activity, the closing signal was given and 70th Greenock & District scout troop with leaders David Love and Alison 18 very tired but exhilarated young curlers, with their equally fatigued coaches, trooped Reid.

The results having been checked and verified, a hushed gathering heard the news they had all been waiting for: total tonnage of granite rock delivered - 11.5 tonnes. That was more than 0.5 tonnes in excess of last year’s total, and a new record! In addition, the fund-raising on the Sunday afternoon amounted to a mind-boggling £354.00 - a truly astonishing performance by all concerned. Together with the amount gathered by the JustGiving web page, all proceeds were being sent to the Beatson the whole West of Scotland Cancer Centre.
