It was described by Ken Ross as "the greatest comeback since Lazarus". It was certainly a game of two Halves. Austin Thomson was skipping the Robert Charters rink against Richard Morrison and they seemed quite comfortable, leading by 7 shots to 1 after 4 ends. The last four ends saw a remarkable comeback, with scores of 5,2,1 and 3 for Richard's team, to finish 12-7 up.
On sheet 6 Steel McFadzean's team had an iron grip on the game, leading 7-0 after 6 ends and conceding 2 at the last to Francis McCrossin.
Meanwhile, Peter Kennedy and Jimmy Niblock were playing a different sort of game with singles being shared in each of the first 6 ends and the score tied at 3 all. A final score of 2 shots stolen by Peter Kennedy decided the game.
Next week sees the semi final, where Richard Morrison plays Peter Kennedy. The winner will play Steel McFadzean in the final in two weeks time. It was decided that the ranking should be shots up, then ends and then shots scored.
Our annual match against Tarbolton will be played this Thursday at 5.00 pm.
