As if the previous evening's Arthur Frame drama had not been enough, Thursday night's final games both went to the last stone of the last end to decide winners and wooden spoonists. In the big match, team F (David Sillito, Les Quin, Alan Sloan and Pres Ian Dalglish) led Team G ( Alan McDonald, Lindsay Dempster, Steve Laverock and John Henderson) by two points but with Team G having the better Ends and Shot difference a win for them would secure the title, whilst a peel would suit Team F. Lying half guarded on the button, Team F looked to have the peel under control. Alan McDonald's 1st stone attempted takeout drifted wide and Skip David Sillito's final stone produced a near perfect freeze on the counting stone to lie 2. This time Alan's attempted 'blaster' ran tight and foundered and team F snatched the victory and the league by a shot.
In the other game E and H were locked with the scoe at 7-5 for H going into the last end without last stone. E took total charge and racked up a 6 to run out 11-7 winners and tie with H on points for the season.
Altogether an exciting end to an enjoyable season which will culminate with the AGM and Dinner on Thursday 7th April at Pollok Golf Club - all welcome!
