Nobody is undefeated





The afternoon draw didn't do anything to separate the field but there now is only one team without a win.

A steal of 4 in the first end by Eddy immediately put pressure on Morris; but to their credit, Team Morris did not cave.  When they could only score a deuce in the 7th and thereby giving the hammer back to Eddy coming home, they decided to leave the ice early and shake hands thus giving Eddy the 8-4 win.

Rees stole 5 in the 3rd and appeared to take a significant lead going into the break.  Gregory stole points on the three ends after the break and tied the score at 6 after 7 ends.  With the hammer in 8, Rees only had to take one and with it the win.  Gregory had other ideas and proceeded to steal again for the fourth straight end to win 7-6.

The third game of the draw was more of a one-sided affair.  Armstrong got back on the winning track by taking multiple points in half the ends and Fraser shook hands with the score 10-2.

The final draw of the round-robin tomorrow morning will likely do nothing to prevent the need for tie-breakers since the three teams tied for the lead (Armstrong, Gregory and Rees) all play teams below them in the standings.
