After three days of curling, the Stewarton Heather rink of David Mundell, David Reid, Tom Reid and Douglas Reid have again won the prestigious Eglinton Jug at Ayr Ice Rink.
Having reached the quarter finals with wins over Land o Burns and Sorn 3, Mundell’s rink came up against fellow Stewarton Heather rink of Craig Reid and, in the words of David himself “we were lucky to win the game.”
The semi-final was against Sorn 1 where Mundell took early control of the match and won 7-2 to set up the final against yet another Sorn rink of Neil Sands (Sorn 4). All square at 2-2 after 4 ends, Mundell took a 5-2 lead in the 5th. Sands took 1 in the 6th and stole another in the 7th to make it 5-4 going into the 8th, where Mundell secured another shot to win 6-4.
This was Team Mundell’s fifth win (2007, 2009, 2012, 2015 & 2018) and the clubs eighth overall (1901, 1987 & 1992).
Well done to all three Stewarton Heather rinks that took part in this years event.
