Gangrels Pairs Competition

 This report from David Hope

The High Road Semi Final was contested between Colin Naismith and Peter Galloway who were playing Robert Charters and Bert McKay.

This was a close game, which could have gone either way. After two ends it was peeled at 1 each. The last end could have gone either way with Robert and Bert just easing into the final.

The Low Road Semi final was contested between Jim Henry and Robert Boyd who were up against Francis McCrossan and George Hodge. Jim and Robert got off to a good start but Francis and George kept plugging away with them getting a 2 at the third end. However Jim and Robert went onto win the match.

The second High Road Semi Final was played out between Harry Peters and David Hope who was up against Jimmy Niblock and Euan Lawrence. Although Jim and Euan got a single shot at the first end. It could have been a different story and the same story was to continue for Harry and David for the next few ends where Jim and Euan would deny them a shot. Jim and Euan went onto win this tie.

The Final low Road took place between David Gray and Peter Kennedy who received a bye from the previous round and they were up against a changed rink of Jim Henry and (Robert Boyd). Unfortunately Robert had another game to play in at this time so George Hodge stepped in to play in his place. After a nip and tuck final of the Low Road David and Peter came through in the end to win what was a very close last end.

Final of the High Road was between Bert McKay, Robert Charters and Jim Niblock, Euan Lawrence. The Final got off and running with the first end going to Jim and Euan by a single shot. At the second end Bert and Robert got a four. At the third end Jim and Euan got a single shot. The fourth end was a bit of a nip and tuck with both teams having a tough last end with Bert and Robert getting a single shot to win the Pairs Trophy.
