After the heartbreak of the rugby last weekend in Dublin between Ireland and the All Blacks, Irish curlers will get the chance to exact some revenge this week when taking on the New Zealand mens curling team at The Peak in Stirling.

The Kiwis – Peter de Boer, Sean Becker, Scott Becker, Kenny Thomson and  alternate Philip Dowling –  are in Europe to play for the remaining Olympic berths available at the qualifying competition in Fussen, Germany beginning December 10. To get some ice time in they have travelled to Scotland and will take on our very own Johnjo Kenny, Alan Mitchell, James Russell and Aaron Cameron at 3pm on Wednesday.
