National Masters Championship 2024 – Greenacres

Simon, Ross and Alison competed in the National Masters Championships for curlers over 60.  This was held over 1 – 4 February at Greenacres Curling Club.  The Masters Championship is a Scotland wide competition with teams competing from 14 different Scottish rinks from Aberdeen to Stranraer.  The rinks playing included several previous National and World Champions.

There were 12 rinks in the Men’s Section, who had previously played in a pre-qualifying round and 11 rinks in the Ladies Section.

Simon was playing in the Gillespie rink who was fourth placed in Section A. Alison’s rink, McIntyre, was placed third in Section B.  Ross who plays in Sharp’s rink won three games and peeled a fourth, and have progressed to play in Sunday’s semi-final.  The Sharp rink are no strangers to the National Masters Championship semi-final, having reached this stage on three previous occasions.  This could be the one!!

Exciting times at Greenacres.

The semi-final took place at 10.00am when Team Sharp had a convincing win over Team Stark from Forfar 9-5.  The final took place at 2.00pm between Team Clark from Ayr and Team Sharp from Greenacres.  This was a very close game and an amazing final stone played by John Sharp to win 6 – 5 and bring the  Championship home to Greenacres.

Well done Ross for an incredible achievement in your curling career.
