The usually hotly contested ladies versus gents match, which was played on bank holiday Monday, was interrupted by heavy rain during the first half, but improved in the second, much to everyone’s delight.
The game was six rinks of men and six rinks of ladies. The result was a draw in terms of winning rinks, but the gents had two rinks with higher scores so won on the overall count.
The winning rink was Ken Bridgman, Stewart Thomson, Ken Robertson and skip John Mason.
