AHT - Stewartry narrowly missed out on a quarter final spot on Saturday, going down 108 - 99 to Dumfriesshire at Lockerbie.  The team has performed well this year and credit goes to all players and to Hugh Robertson, team manager.

County Singles - On Sunday at Kirkcudbright 19 players went into the hat for the County Singles draw, and after some very close games the semi finals turned out to be all Castle Douglas affairs between Graeme Maxwell and Will Green, and Alan Davies and William ‘Buff’ Brydson.  Graeme trailed Will early thanks to some good running bowls from Will which turned several heads in his favour.  Graeme went ahead with a 3 to make it 9-8 but then lost a 3 and 4 to trail 15 - 9.  He failed to bridge the gap and Will ran out winner 21 - 14.

Buff trailed 13 -2 early in the game but fought back strongly with some excellent draw shots to get back to 14 - 10 down.  He continued the comeback to level the game at 19 each.  With the tie in the balance Alan lay 2 on the next end.  Buff attempted to trail the jack to lie the 2 shots he needed, but he narrowly missed, leaving Alan the victory. 

Top Ten - Castle Douglas hosted New Abbey in the Top Ten semi final on Friday night.  The match was close but Castle Douglas just edged it 6-2 with wins in the singles, pairs and fours, with New Abbey taking the triples.

The first round game between Creetown and Dalbeattie was postponed once more due to the weather.  The two teams will look to play that game this Friday, with the winner visiting Kirkcudbright in the semi final, date to be confirmed.

County Triples - The County Triples play off on Sunday at New Abbey saw fourteen triples go into the hat.  In the first semi final Will Green, John Crawford and David Green trailed the New Abbey team of Ralph Richardson, Jim Clingan and Ian Shuttleworth for most of the game, but finished strongly to make it into the final.  In the second semi George Brown, Steven Johnston and Tam Aitken of Kirkcudbright held the upper hand over Graeme Maxwell, Terry McElroy and Tam Maxwell early on but the CD triple fought back to g 2 up in the last end.  With the last bowl of the game George altered the lie and scored the two shots to send the game into an extra end.  The extra end was burnt on the first occasion and at the second time of asking it was the Kirkcudbright team who score a single shot to go into the final.
