The play off for the Senior League title between Section ‘A’ winners Auchencairn and Section’B’ winners Gatehouse was held today at New Abbey. In a tight finish Gatehouse held on to win by 2 shots. In a seesaw game Laurie Little, Brian Jones & Jock Smith beat David Kiltie, Tom Kirkpatrick & George Brown 18 - 15. After 5 ends Auchencairn were 8-0 up, after 10 ends Gatehouse were 14-8 up, Auchencairn then scored 10 shots in the next 4 ends, with Gatehouse getting a single in the last.

Tom Rogers, Jock Wallace & William Carruthers of Gatehouse got of to a flyer in the other game with 5 shots in the first end. Jock McGarrie, William Malcolmson & Robert Edgar never managed to recover from this and were down 7-3 after 5 ends, 10-6 after 10 ends  and the game finished 15 - 10 to Gatehouse.

After 3 weeks of the Stewartry Seniors Triples League, in Section A,  Auchencairn look in pole position on 16 points followed by Castle Douglas, Dalbeattie & Kirkcudbright all on 6 points.

Section B looks much tighter with Gatehouse on 12 points, Castle Douiglas 11  & defending league champions Auchencairn on 10 points. The final game at Auchencairn against Gatehouse looks like being a decider????

The Stewartry League will be decided at Castle Douglas next Tuesday night when Castle Douglas play New Abbey. CD are four points in front of New Abbey so all is still to play for.
