The High Road Final saw Bob Cherry returning in place of Scott Thomson, who had a prior engagement. Yet another close game with Steell and Austin eventually coming out on top by one shot. Don't ask Steell and Malcolm about their last shots - just remember the good ones earlier!

Spare a thought, also, for Willie Scott. Having been knocked out in Round One, he found a second (unsuccessful) chance as a sub in Round Two. Undaunted, he tried again, partnering Jimmy Niblock in the semis. Third time lucky? Regrettably not. But Willie is relatively new to curling and his enthusiasm has been evident all season. There's always next year!
Spare a moment for Willie Scott,
