Gangrels Team Henry (Henry, Cherry, Mutter and Galloway) faced Sorn in the quarter finals of the Province Knock Out on Wed 28 Feb at Greenacres in a late evening slot. Five sheets were in play so it was a lively, spirited and very competitive atmosphere with many Ayr centric well known faces to the fore.
The weather conditions for the drive to and from the venue were demanding but this was all good preparation for the curling task which was to follow which was to be equally challenging. The first end set the scene as it was blanked but Sorn then took a shot in the next 2 end to lead. Gangrels quickly responded by taking the next 2 ends to lie 2-2 at the 5th end. And then we lost the edge against some very tactically adroit considerations and takeout/guarding shots from Sorn to lose the next 3 ends in very close play to finally shake hands at the close of the 8th end losing 2-6.
The result would have been even closer were it not for an unfortunate pick up by the very last Gangrels and match stone which was disappointing. For those who may be interested in spectating, the semi final of this Province event will take place at Greenacres at 2030 on Mon 18 Mar. The final will be held on Tue 26 Mar at 2030, again at Greenacres.
