Fraser Cup - Final Games

Tonight saw the final games of the Fraser Cup. Euan Lawrence and his team of Gillian Watson, Robert Boyd and Peter Reynolds had already secured the trophy last week, but tonight they were against their closest challengers and a certain amount of pride was at stake  Could Euan remain unbeaten or would Jimmy get some revenge for losing to the leaders in their earlier game?

It was certainly a close game with the scores tied at 4 shots all at the start of the final end.  Euan had the last stone and scored a single to win 5-4 and finish the season with 19 points out of 20 - a fantastic performance.

Elsewhere, David Hope beat Richard Morrison by 8 shots to 5 to remain in third place and Ronnie Wilson skipped the Charters team to a 10-5 victory over Bob Cherry.

The final table is here.

Our games next Monday will be for the Drew Duncan Quaich at 5.00 pm. 
This is played over 8 ends with each player taking a turn at skipping for two ends.
The order of play is the finishing order of the Fraser Cup and the games are thus:

Euan Lawrence  v  Jimmy Begg (again!)
David Hope        v   Robert Charters
Bob Cherry        v   Richard Morrison
