This was the scene at Greenacres yesterday, the two European Seniors Invitation finals taking place side by side.
Keith Prentice (front) was fortunate to qualify for the playoffs, in eighth place. In the quarters the Prentice team defeated the hitherto unbeaten David Clydesdale, then Gary Macfarlane in the semis. Colin Hamilton beat Michael Sutherland in the quarters, and Sweden's Pelle Lindeman in the semifinal. All the linescores can be found here.

All hands to the pumps, as Ann-Catrin Kjerr joins her skip and the front end.
Alison is a study in concentration...

Well done to Team Meldahl and Team Prentice on their wins.
