2015 Tunnocks Bonspiel

3 Apr 2015 by Stewart Pimblett

On 31st March to the 2nd April teams from Scotland, Wales & Newcastle upon Tyne, came together to participate in Tunnocks Bonspiel held in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire.

This is the final competition of the 2014/2015 season. Northern Ice drove north with great hopes of bringing some silverware home to the Northeast, Sadly it wasn’t meant to be, but having an asset like Joan Reed (Coach) in the back ground! the future looks bright. The team had some up & down results played 10, won 5 lost 5. we eventually finished joint 3rd.

On reflection the team is looking better drilled, understanding what they are trying to accomplish & more professional on & off the ice! under the guidance of there new coach.

The feedback was great from other teams & the able bodied helper (most of them have seen the rollercoaster ride of the Northern ice journey so far).

Joan said: “Really looking forward to next season with the guys & especially the pre-qualifiers in Finland”
From Northern Ice TEAM: well done to Hugh Nibloe and your team on a great comp, well deserved.
Also big thanks goes out to Tunnocks for supporting the Bonspiel, your the best. Paul you and your committee did a great job as usual hosting one of the best competitions, Thank you to all the helpers we would not be able to curl without you valuable support.
last thing, Russell Shanks thanks for making me smile! one in a million.
