Some changes to the rinks being played as the ladies were in an extra end.

Rink A -- Howat v Sloan

Howat with the hammer got a 1 in the 1^st but Sloan won the 2^nd and 3^rd ends to go 4 up.

A single in the 5^th for Howat was followed by Sloan taking a 2 in the 6^th. Following a single in the 7^th Howat conceded

Rink B Mouat v Hardie

Mouat appeared to be running away with this game with the score 7- 2 in his favour after 3 scoring ends.

David managed to stop the rot by getting a 2 in the 4^th however the game was conceded going into the 6^th end with a 10 – 4 score line.

Rink D – Macleod v Pougher

Macleod had the hammer and took the 1^st, 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th ends while Pougher only took the 2^nd and leaving a score line of 6 – 2.

Although both teams were playing good shots in the 6^th end there was a lot of granite in the 8 foot and only one of these was a blue of Pougher. A red guard on the front made Pougher’s opportunities less and his effort to go round the guard failed.

With a score line of 8 – 2 for Macleod the game was ended.

Rink C Bryce v Hamilton

Bryce with the hammer took a 2 in the fist and after a blank2nd end Hamilton took a 1 in the 3^rd.

In the 4^th end Hamilton played a light hit and roll to get into the 4 fott behind some guards. Bryce played a heavy shot which resulted in some clearance but when everything stopped moving Hamilton found his two shots remaining in the house and both on the centre line. Hamilton put a nice guard on and Bryce was left with a difficult shot through a port of two guards. He got it well and while he removed one blue stone the other was left to give Hamilton a steal of 1.

Bryce took a 2 in the 5^th to go 4-2 up .

The 6^th saw a different end develop with not much being left in the house. Bryce took a 2 and the game was finished 6 -2 for Bryce.

Rink F Lill v Whyte

A blanked 1^st end was followed by Whyte taking the 2^nd and 3^rd ends to go 3 – 0 up. A blank in the 4^th was followed by Whyte getting a 2 in the 5^th and 1 in the 6^th which saw the end of the game.
