Kirkbride Rose Bowl Finals + Women's World Championships


Two contrasting games tonight. The Low Road Final was never very close and despite having only three players, Jimmy Niblock, Colin Naismith and Robert Charters won the Low Road with a 12 - 4 victory over Scott Thomson, Austin Thomson, Ian Ruthven and Ernest Mutter.

The High Road Final was a different game entirely, with the lead changing hands regularly and some good shot playing evident.
At the last end, Jimmy Begg's team of Euan Lawrence, Peter Galloway and Charlie Jack had a two shot lead. Jimmy with his first stone drew half behind cover, in the four foot, for first shot, but this was matched by an angled tap back and roll by Ronnie Wilson to lie two.  Jimmy then managed to get another shot close, but there was doubt about whether it was second or third shot.  Ronnie Wilson drew the tee line for two and was delighted when the measure was declared in his favour.  A three meant his team of Ronnie Peat, Peter Reynolds and Robert Boyd had won 7-6.
