Season started on Saturday up at Lenzie on what was a very decent green considering the weather we have had recently. Game started with Dunbartonshire taking a good early lead and the fresh Stewartry rinks taking time to get to grips with the tricky rinks. Dunbartonshire went ahead by 15 shots by end 5 and held the lead through to 10 ends but reduced to 4 shots. Stewartry then had the best of the game over next 7 ends and at one point went 14 shots up. This was always going to be a tight game and Dunbartonshire fought back to level in last 2 ends across the green, that momentum was enough to see them push on and win by 6 shots. Game could have gone either way but credit and best wishes to Dunbartonshire on what was a really sporting game.
