Playing Ditch Weight

Minor Singles winner Colin Stokell and runner–up Mark Brownlie.

The continued cold conditions on Thursday saw the coldest day of the month so far with the official temperature less than 10 degrees.

Conditions on Saturday were slightly warmer than during the week and the periods of sunshine were appreciated by the players involved.

The final of the Minor Singles between Mark Brownlie and Colin Stokell saw an extremely close contest.

Colin won 7 of the first 11 ends and established a good lead of 17–6. The scoring was fairly even over the next 7 ends and Colin maintained the lead at 21–11.

Mark then won 6 consecutive ends to trail by just 2 shots at 19–21.

Colin extended his lead to 24–20 and on two occasions looked to have the extra shot needed to win but Mark changed the head and after 30 ends the score was 24–all.

On the final end Mark held shot before Colin rested on the shot bowl to hold shot. Mark’s final bowl was just wide and Colin was the winner 25–24.

Congratulations to both players on their play in this game.
