There were 8 pairs teams challenging for the Kennedy Pairs Trophies yesterday afternoon. The first session started at 2.30 with Peter Reynolds and Jim Dunlop prevailing over Bob Charters and Francis McCrossin, and Ken Ross and Jimmy Niblock winning their game against Gordon Todd and George Hay.
Winners in the lower half of the draw were Ronnie Peat and Peter Galloway, in a very close game against Gillian Watson and Steell McFadzean and David Gray and Bob Cherry, who won against Ernest Mutter and Fraser Hogg.
5.15 saw the start of the semi finals and it was at this point that all the participants were thankful that we were only playing three stones each this year.
Ronnie and Peter won against David Gray and Bob Cherry by 4 shots to 1, and Peter and Jim won comfortably over Ken and Jimmy.
The final was extremely close. Ronnie & Peter picked up two shots in the first end and then lost three in the second. The third end had three of the Reynolds/Dunlop shots in the four foot but Ronnie's last stole the shot. Peels starting the final end and again it looked good for Peter and Jim but a raise by Ronnie put a shot in the four foot and Peter Reynolds last stone could not beat it.
A very good game which really could have gone either way.
