Our ladies braved tonight’s wet and cold weather to play Newmachar in the first round of the Forbes Hendry competition.

At home, Myra, Margaret and Marion kept it very tight over the opening ends and started to pull away in the second half, eventually coming out on top by 13 shots to 7. In Newmachar, Christine, Helen and Eileen M. managed to restrict the opposition to a narrow 2 shot margin with a 15-17 final score. Winning the tie by 4 shots overall Belhelvie go through to play either Torphins or Ellon in the quarter final. Well done ladies!

Teams have been selected for the A&K Fours fixture on the 20th May 2016 against Kemnay. Good luck everyone.

Teams have been selected for the Benachie League fixture on the 18th May 2016 at home against Newmachar. Good luck everyone.

Sixteen members enjoyed tonight’s hat night, playing in four rinks of pairs. Ian Forman and Stuart Sutherland came out on top.

Two gents fours teams were in action both Thursday and Friday evenings this week, playing the 1st round of the Forbes Hendry and the second A&K league fixture respectively.

On Thursday, our away team in Alford went down 16-10 to the home side but back at Belhelvie a 21-15 win meant the tie was all-square after the 17 ends. This meant the score at the end of the 16th end would decide the winner. Belhelvie were 27-31 behind at this stage and hence Alford go through to meet either Balgownie or Oldmeldrum in the 2nd round.

Unfortunately, Friday night’s A&K tie against Tarves was a struggle for Belhelvie, with both home and away teams suffering one-sided defeats.

On another sunny and warm evening tonight, our ladies contested the first Craigie Ladies league fixture of 2016, against Balgownie.

The tie started off as a tightly fought affair, with only a few shots between the teams for the first half of each game. Unfortunately, Balgownie managed to pull away and a strong finish saw them take the tie by 52 shots to 24.

A good turn out at this week’s hat, as several members enjoyed the sunny weather. John Noble and Sheena McBain took home the sweeties.
