A good day of excellent curling took place on Saturday in the Muirhead Pairs. It was especially pleasing to see four of our juniors competing. The pool stages were closely contested, and eventually the top two of each pool progressed to the semi-finals.
Craig and Conner McCallum (Loch Ard) met Murray Henderson & Arran Bauer (Stirling Young Curlers) in the first semi, where it was all square going into the final end. The SYC juniors managed to steal a three to progress to the final.
A second very close semi followed, with James Dunn & Ian More (Loch Ard) meeting Lee & Judith McCleary (Keir), with Dunn & More running out narrow winners.
In the final, the juniors Henderson & Bauer played an exceptional game, with Dunn & More conceding after five ends at 11 – 1. They are now winners of the Stirling Muirhead Pairs, and qualify to represent Stirling at the National Pairs competition.
