And very satisfying it was too, considering recent performances up t'hill. Great victory by Charlie Lomax's rink (especially with Charlie on debut at skip) set the foundation for victory. Though, Phil Froggatt rink's 11 unanswered shots in the last 5 ends and a fine holding job done against Paul Cowley by John Moran's, were equally important.

And what a game it proved to be. At 18 ends, with 2 rinks tied & Steve Middlemass' & Gary Allsopp's rinks down 5 & 8 shots, respectively, the game seemed destined to be a tight battle. A great bowl from Steve effected a 6 on their 20th end, combined with a 3 and single on Gary's rink, set up the finale. Playing the last end & now trailing by 4 on the rink & 1 on the match, a superb pressure wood from Terry Meadows for a measure for shot, cut down Hiccup's advantage. An attempt to ditch the jack for a 5 by Gary failed & a failed draw from Terry meant it was down to that crucial measure. After every attempt to split the woods, it was determined that the end was tied, & the unusual points score of 2.5-4.5 was settled.
