Game 5 – Fernie 4 Hare 8

Posted: February 17, 2011 in Bruadar Scottish Mens Finals 2011, Curling

A 7.30am fire alarm at the hotel this morning was just wasn’t ideal, but now that I’m awake I better update this post. I actually thought that Dunky had changed his phone alarm to a very loud bell when I woke up for some reason.

Last nights game against Fraser was another one where we just missed too many shots and against a skip who had the pot lid in his back pocket it eventually cost us a win. We did well to generate a good two in the 7th to edge in front, only to then give them a three back in the 8th. We were looking good to have a chance of making two in the 9th until Fraser welded another clinker right into the button that meant we really had nothing left and the game ended there.

It was obviously a disappointing loss, however we can’t go back and change the game now so it’s time to refocus on the games we have left. We’re still in a good position at the moment and providing we can bounce back this morning we’ll still be looking good to be involved come the end of the week.

Next up in what is now a very big game is Sandy Reid at 12.45pm and you can follow the results here.

P.S. Tip for the chef try not to burn the toast tomorrow, please!
