After the excitement of the two singles matches, we now looked forward to the Top 10 Sponsored by Mattioli Woods , where hosts Polmuir had won through for their first appearance in over 15 years! Facing them were favourites Kittybrewster & Woodside who had defeated Whitehall away in the quarter finals before easing past Northern in the semi-finals.

The line-ups would see Eric Gallan & Callum Work face each other again after their marathon COC final earlier this afternoon. The rest of the line-up was:

Pairs – Jak Miller & Ben Inglis (Kittybrewster) v Mark Burnett & Keith Edment (Polmuir)
Triples – Mike Boyne, Ronnie Gill & Roy Henry (Kittybrewster) v Graeme Snape, Neil Philip & Martyn Orchard (Polmuir)
Fours – Keith Morrison, Billy Grant, Neil Anderson & Derek McNicol (Kittybrewster) v Mark Smith, John Stephen, Jim Cameron & Willie Stewart (Polmuir)

In the singles, it was Eric who lead from the start however Callum stayed in touch and after counting a full-house of 4 on the 10th end Eric’s lead was a single shot at 12-11. However, Eric then romped to secure the first 2 points with a run of 3, 2, 1 and 3 to win 21-11.

In the Pairs, Polmuir moved into an early 4-1 lead however Kittybrewster responded with scores of 1,1,2 and 4 to lead 9-4. This became 12-5 after 11 ends. Polmuir scored 4 shots in the next 2 ends to retain a comeback hope thereby trailing 9-12 with 4 ends remaining however the Kittybrewster duo scored a 3 and a single to lead 16-9. The next 2 points was secured shortly afterwards with a 16-13 win.

The next match to finish was the fours and in this game, the result was virtually known after the first 7 ends. Kittybrewster won 6 of the first 7 ends to storm into a 12-1 lead. However Polmuir replied with a four but that seemed to annoy the Kittybrewster rink as they responded with counts of 4,5 and 5 to lead 26-5! With the game and overall match effectively over the final ends were played out with Kittybrewster winning 35-8.

In the Triples, this match was tight throughout with never more than 2 shots separating the teams until the penultimate end and the lead changing on numerous occasions. Polmuir won the 11th, 12, 13th and 14th ends to lead 13-9 playing the last and held on for a consolation win 13-12.

Final Score – Kittybrewster & Woodside 6 points, Polmuir 2 points
