Rink 2: J McCullough, G McDowell, H Maxwell, T Sudlow.

Rink 3: A Clinghan, T Gribben, G Harvey, G Ervine.

Rink 4: G Beggs, J Topping, I Houston, A Sudlow.

After a lengthy break of no home games the juniors were looking for the bulk of the points and after five ends were 11 shots to the good. Ervine was leading the way nine shots ahead, T Sudlow had a lead of four, A Sudlow was all square with Malcomson down by two.

The juniors were rocked back when, at the halfway stage, they were two shot in arrears. Ervine’s lead was now four, A Sudlow was five ahead, T Sudlow was all square and Malcomson was in the red by 11.

The news was worse at three-quarter stage as the visitors were now leading by nine. Ervine had got his players on track again to lead by 12, A Sudlow was a single to the good, T Sudlow was trailing by seven and Malcomson was still finding it tough 15 behind.

The home team got their act together in the final six ends to get their heads in front, crossing the finishing line by nine. Ervine had a big victory of 16, A Sudlow was a winner by eight, T Sudlow went down by seven and Malcomson came back to go down by eight.

This Saturday the juniors are away to Bets Bangor in a league game.
