The first round of the pairs took place last night and there were some very close games. In particular, Bob Cherry and Euan Lawrence tied after four ends and had to enter the nerve-wracking Draw Shot Challenge! Both skips displayed such an absence of nerves that their draws finished inside the button, with Bob just edging the victory by an inch.
For various reasons two teams in the top half received byes to the second round. This also means that the two losing teams in last night's top half will now receive byes to the semi final stage. Two games from the bottom half low road will also be moved forward from 10.30 to 9.30 to make better use of the earlier ice.
I hope that makes sense. The amended draw is now as follows:
9.30 Ice
High Road
R Wilson & R Morrison v R Peat & W Scott
G Neil & B McKay v C Naismith & P Kennedy
Russell Boyd & G Hodge v B Cherry & C Jack
Low Road
Robt. Boyd & M Bowden v E Lawrence & B Grassom
10.30 Ice
High Road
D Gray & G Hay v A Hastie & F McCrossin
Low Road
D Hope & S McFadzean v R Charters & E Mutter
A Thomson & I Ruthven and P Reynolds & K Ross will play in the Low Road semi finals on 24th Feb at 6.15.
