After that, wins over Kinross and Edinburgh1,\u00a0put Team Wallace into the High Road Knockout stages, with a Semi Final game against close rivals Glasgow Gateway.<br>Notably Team Moray finished second in their pool but sadly due to the organisers choice of a draw competition at the end of day one, ended up in the Low Road.  Kinross, who only won one game in the same pool, survived an early exit from the competition because of their draw shot result.<br>Team Moray, Joanne Norris, Shuki Rose, Claire Fotheringham and\u00a0Emma Dolmaire unfortunately\u00a0lost to Kinross in the Low Road Semi Final, in a tight 4-3 game, having beaten them the day before 7-1.  Then went on to beat\u00a0Fife A 9-4 in the third and fourth\u00a0place play, while Kinross went on to win the Low Road. The other High Road Semi final was played between\u00a0Edinburgh2\u00a0and Forfar with Edinburgh Progressing\u00a0to the final to play Stirling&#8217;s Team Wallace after an extra end.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"var:preset|color|black\"}}}},\"textColor\":\"black\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color\">The final completed a clean sweep for Team Wallace with a 6-1 win over the Edinburgh team.
