Edinburgh1 and Stirling1, representing East and West respectively, delivered the tightest game of the semi-final stage. Stirling 1 had the board in their favour with four points in End 3, but Edinburgh1 fought back and led by a point after five ends. Singles in the next two ends brought Stirling one back in front, but, coming down with hammer, Edinburgh1 scored two in the eighth for an 8-7 win. It was all square after two ends between Stirling2 and Edinburgh2, but big points in Ends 3, 4, and 5 enabled Stirling2 to triumph 10-5. With one game each, everything came down to the third game. Edinburgh3 led by the slim margin of a single point at the break, but they came out swinging at the restart with three consecutive threes, resulting in an eventual 13-4 victory. With a 2-1 defeat, Stirling headed home, proud to have made it to the Semis. The final was won by Stranraer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/stirlingcurlinggroup.org\/index.php\/2023\/03\/10\/stirling-ladies-qualify-for-morton-final\/\">Stirling Ladies Qualify for Morton Final<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-full-content\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/stirlingcurlinggroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mortonfinal23-1024x656.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stirlingcurlinggroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mortonfinal23-1024x656.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stirlingcurlinggroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mortonfinal23-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stirlingcurlinggroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mortonfinal23-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stirlingcurlinggroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mortonfinal23.jpg 1322w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well done to the three Stirling Ladies teams, who beat Waterfront to qualify for the Morton Trophy Final on Tuesday 14 March 2023 at Hamilton Ice Rink.&nbsp; We wish them lots of luck in the semi-finals\/finals.
