Final day at Lockerbie.

Our early start turned into a long day for us today.
We met Rebecca Steven in the first game.  We played well and managed to get ahead, the Steven rink came back but we held on to win. 
Three wins from three set up a game with the competition leaders, Team Muirhead. 
Before we started it looked like whoever won would progress to the final.
It was a close game, we pushed ahead slightly and were two up going into the final end but without last stone.  The end didn't quite go to plan and Eve took the two she needed to peel.  Not the outcome anyone had expected and due to the Schenkel system we were to face Eve again in the final!

So, round two!
Another close affair for most of the game.  Again we played well and had chances to go ahead.  Unfortunately we didn't get enough of a lead and a three in the 6th for Eve changed the game.  Skip's taking the blame for that one! :) We managed a one in the 7th to leave ourselves one down without in the last end.
We didn't set the end up quite right and good play from Team Muirhead gave them one and the win.
Congratulations to Eve, Anna, Vicki and Rhiann.



Hannah Fleming and Gina Aitken were the two teams due to play for third and fourth place but decided to share the prize and get home early.  
In the boys competition, Duncan Menzies rink beat Stuart Marshall in the final.  

It was another good competition for us, we have been consistent if nothing else this season. 

Up next, the finals at Aberdeen.  We're excited and hoping to put in another strong performance there. 

That's all for now, 

Team King xoxo
