The skip joins Tim Stevenson and Dillan Perras in sweeping Fraser Watt's stone.
Ian Copland, Jay McWilliam, Billy Morton and Struan Wood discuss options during the sixth end. One down in the last end, Jay's last takeout curled just a fraction too far, or his stone would have rolled to lie second shot, and the two would have given the youngsters the game. As it was, the single just put the game into an extra end where Paul did not need his last stone.
