So, who won? It was 3-2 for Dodds after five, then two blank ends as Hannah looked for the two she needed. The last end was a classic. Lots of stones in play. Hannah was just short with an attempted freeze with her first, leaving her opposition lying shot. Jennifer guarded, and Hannah had a chance to tie the game with her last. She was good on weight, but the stone needed to curl an inch more. Team Dodds stole the end, and the game!

All the scores are here.
