The Stranraer curlers - Douglas Dewar, Phil Heron, Graham Keenan, Ann Baynes, Joe McGurk, Stewart Maxwell and Joan Cummings won one game 7-4 and first the other one by the narrowest of margins going down 7-8.
Skip of the winning Stranraer team Douglas Dewar told the Galloway Gazette: “We had a really good game and enjoyed playing in a competitive match. We had been looking forward to this for weeks and practising hard. Most of us are now looking forward to joining local clubs next season and getting more time on the ice.”
