Tom Brewster, Greg Drummond, Scott Andrews and Michael Goodfellow won the Bruadar Scottish Men's Curling Championship this afternoon, beating the Sandy Reid team at the last stone!
Tom Brewster's side came up against Moray Combe (4th), Sandy Reid (skip), Scott Macleod and David Soutar in the final this afternoon. That's Tom Brewster above.
It didn't begin as a 'classic' final. Brewster missed an open draw for a third stone at the second and only counted two to keep the teams level. At the fifth, Sandy was one shot in front.The linescore is here.
Team Brewster took the initiative with a two at the sixth, and going down the ninth held a one shot lead. Moray just had to hit an open Brewster stone on the nose for two, but it curled away, he barely got a piece of it, and only one went on the board. Score 4-4 after nine, Brewster with last stone in the tenth.
Tom faced two Reid stones when he came to play his last. He elected to draw, and his stone, well looked after and swept by his team, finished on the button!
