Keith Petrie sends this report, "It was a good final, the Greenwood team (Neil Macarthur, skip, Dean Clark 3rd, Grant Fraser 2nd and James Greenwood lead) took the first three skins taking £45. The Fraser team (Ally Fraser, skip, Dave Reid 3rd, Ruairidh Greenwood 2nd and Tom Pendreigh jnr lead) picked up a two in the 4th for £20 but failed to steal the 5th and Greenwood took another £35 for a total of £80. The Fraser team then took the 6th end giving them a total of £70.

However Neil Macarthur, playing some excellent curling, replied by winning the 7th end worth £50 giving him a total of £130. With it all hinging on the 8th end which was worth £100, the Greenwood team kept the pressure on and left Ally without a real chance with his last stone. Greenwood picked up a steal and £100 giving then £230 to Ally’s £70.

Although there was a good gap in the £s, the game was a lot closer than the score suggests. Both teams played a high standard of curling giving the gallery of spectators a very good game to watch."
