The weekend got of against Duncan Menzies young team from Forfar, Duncan wasn’t present due to him being away on a school trip in Austria with team GB.
The draw the shot challenge was an interesting one as Chunkie Dunkie managed to just flick the button but the young guys from Forfar swept like a dog eating beetroot and put it over the hole for the hammer. Some intense pressure from the heavy weight front end of Edwards & Morton set up two steals early on but a good Duce down 3 and a steal of 2 down 4 meant the young ones were leading 4-2. Single shots were then traded until the 8th end where the experience of Edwards in the head paid dividends, a steal of two and a 6-5 lead going into 9. One slight mistake by Robertson in 9 meant a Duce on the board and team curl one out trailed 7-6. Things were looking good for a 2 down 10 until a nice angle double and stay behind guards was played by the Forfar fandangos, but Robertson looking to make up for his earlier mistake came up with his own runback & stay behind the guards. With only a 1 on the cards the opposition decided to guard a tap back but Gracie has other ideas he could see a port and a nice route to the 4 foot. No problem for the big guy, he shaved past both guards & stuck it full in the 4 foot for the win 8-7.
