It was a strange sight to see all four games finish before the bell, with the teams at the top of the scoreboards all winning.
Gavin Reid 9 – 3 Peter Barrett
Against Gavin’s full strength team, the last thing Peter could afford was to lose a 5 in the second end. From then on it was case of playing catch-up and while each subsequent end was close, too many errors made this impossible.
David Reid 20 – 2 Robert Wilson
“The biggest defeat I’ve had since 1984, I remember it well” was the quote heard from Tommy Wilson after this game. I think that says enough!
Douglas Reid 12 – 2 Tom Reid
Dougie continued his good start to the season with a third straight win, scoring 2’s in the first three ends. Tom managed to get on the board with a single in the 4th and another in the seventh. Opting to play an eighth end proved costly to Tom’s shot difference as Dougie took another 3 shots.
Hugh Reid 8 – 2 Jim Kirkwood
As on the neighbouring sheet, Hugh started well by taking the first three ends, before Jim got on the board with two singles. Giving up another two 2’s, Jim decided he too was better off in the comfort of the bar and shook hands.
