24. Giffnock Match - The Kyle Cup
Willie Kyle was a Past President of both Clubs and following his death his widow donated a Trophy - the Kyle Cup - to be played for annually between the two Clubs.
The fixture with Giffnock Curling Club started in the season 1961/62. It originally consisted of two rinks but was later increased to three rinks. There is a great friendly rivalry between the two Clubs.
Noted at the AGM, 25th April 1980 - " ...in Inter-Club games, our record has been mixed, but great satisfaction can be taken from winning the Kyle Cup from Giffnock after a lapse of three years. The score was 31-9, which could almost be called a rout..."
The annual match has been contested by three rinks per side and usually is the first Club match of the season in October.
