Our first game pitted Team Julia up with the Peart Quartet.
It was definitely a game of two halves. After four ends Julia's rink, with some excellent early season form from John McOmish had it well under control with a 6 - 1 lead. Daniel however was seeking to make the score more respectable, and succeeded, taking the remaining three ends to have a 7 - 6 lead. Coming in under the wire an eighth end was started and the leads and seconds from both teams seemed determined block the house. With only the skips stoned remaining Daniel was lying 1 but leaving Julia a chance (slim) to raise. She succeeded with the final stone of the game, but not far enough.
Final score Daniel 8, Julia 6.
