Team Prentice took to the ice on Thursday wearing a new set of curling pants. By Sunday afternoon the team were undefeated, and needed only to get past the Gary Macfarlane team to count their fourth Scottish Senior title. And they did, nudging ahead in the seventh end of the final - one which Gary will have nightmares about - to have the trophy in sight. 'Power to the Pants', indeed. You can find all the results here.L-R: Archie Craig (alternate), Robin Aitken (2nd), Keith Prentice (skip), Lockhart Steele (3rd) and Tommy Fleming (lead).
