William Lyburn here and yes I can confirm that Allan & I have been beating our heads against the wall out here in Canada, Manitoba.. We have been knocking somewhat on the door to try and Qualify for the Brier... So So Dificult out here to Win as there is so many Top Talanted Teams.. Our Playdowns this year as I have been skipping for the past 2 Seasons... <BR/>To Qualifiy for our Manitoba Championship.. Our first attempt was a 24 Team Field for 1 Spot, We lost Quarter finals, 2nd attempt we Won a 32 Team Field 1 spot.. If we did not win our 3rd attempt would have been our Club Playdowns 8 team Field and this year 2 of the best teams already had a Spot, Allan won this one.. If this Failed you could win 1 of 5 Spots out of a 424 Team Field Bonspiel called the MCA (Largest in the world) And I do have to tell you thats whare we won our spot last year.. Can only loose 1 game and still have chance to Win... Anyway Very Tough.. Maybe SomeDay... I would like to make a trip back to Perth for the masters.. Bring My team with me or at least half and have a couple of Friendly faces play with Me...<BR/>The Lyburns are very much enjoying Canada..William Lyburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272215058564536235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659811624721817383.post-4822994500173296342009-01-27T12:18:00.000+00:002009-01-27T12:18:00.000+00:00Bob - thanks for keeping us up to date on both cur...Bob - thanks for keeping us up to date on both current and past events. I used to curl many years ago in the junior circuit - missed out on the 1992 finals at the Galleon though! One person that I know is still curling at club level is currently living down south (Lindsay Kilpatrick). From what I have read on your blog and Scottish Curler, todays junior curlers dont know they are born. We were ecstatic if we even made the Inverness International, never mind getting the chances to curl abroad. Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659811624721817383.post-24033288782482404432009-01-25T14:24:00.000+00:002009-01-25T14:24:00.000+00:00Go yourself Bob.100% behind you and all that you d...Go yourself Bob.<BR/><BR/>100% behind you and all that you do to keep us informed about our great sport - past and present.gmcurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259636542448785841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659811624721817383.post-16911961423133529192009-01-25T13:02:00.000+00:002009-01-25T13:02:00.000+00:00What a pig-ignorant post, Anonymous.

This weekend I could not go to Aberdeen (for a number of personal reasons). The scores can be seen on the Royal Club site.<BR/><BR/>If you are so interested, then go to Aberdeen yourself, and post what you see on the web to help the rest of us.<BR/><BR/>I see you are somewhat short of a mathematical education. 1992 is just seventeen years ago. I suspect that was before you were born.<BR/><BR/>My name is Bob Cowan, what's yours?Bob Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181424471290305561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659811624721817383.post-74616813777883246252009-01-25T12:48:00.000+00:002009-01-25T12:48:00.000+00:00well lets here how the CURRENT juniors are doin! m...well lets here how the CURRENT juniors are doin! more relevant than 30 years ago!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
