Last night's KRB final between Team McCrossan and Team Peat Skipped by Bob Cherry, was a hard-fought event and a real nail biter at the end! Team Peat (Bob Cherry, Gordon Todd, Euan Lawrence and Jim Dunlop) set the scene by taking a shot in each of the first 2 ends. This goaded Team McCrossin (Francis McCrossin, Jimmy Niblock, David Hope and Peter Galloway) into action by taking 2 in the third end to draw level and then creep ahead to lead 6-2 at the close of the 6th end.
Just when the leaders thought they had their hand on the trophy which was on display at the Rink end, Skip Bob pulled off a superb score of 2 on the 7th end with 1 minute of time remaining before the bell.
It was all to play for in the concluding 8th end with the score 6-4 and Team Peat were lying 2 to at least peel with the last hammer stone to be played by Team McCrossin. Francis played a perfectly crafted stone to draw into the 2 lying stones to limit the lead to 1. The final score to Team McCrossin was 6-5.
