Stoddart Cup — Match Report & Updated Standings

Sheet 1: Young Masterclass Blanks Barr

Team 2 (Graham Young) 14 – 2 Team 5 (Stewart Barr)

Graham Young’s rink put on an absolute clinic on Sheet 1, delivering a relentless performance from the opening stone. Team Young claimed total control of the first five ends, meticulously stealing points to build a massive 9-0 lead. 

Stewart Barr’s side showed a flash of resilience in the 6th end, breaking the shutout to get themselves on the board with 2 points. However, any hopes of a late-game miracle were swiftly dashed in the 7th. Team Young capitalised on every opportunity to score a spectacular 5-ender, putting the game entirely out of reach at 14-2.

Sheet 2: Baird Bounces Back in Style

Team 1 (David Baird) 10 – 2 Team 3 (Laura Nisbet)

Over on Sheet 2, David Baird's rink looked to get their cup campaign back on track and did so in convincing fashion. Baird started strong, taking a 5-0 advantage after the first two ends.

Laura Nisbet’s rink fought back beautifully in the 3rd end, securing a crucial 2 points to narrow the gap. But Team Baird quickly regrouped, responding with a steady march of unanswered points across ends 4, 5, and 6 to push their tally to double digits. With the scoreboard reading 10-2, the final two ends were cleanly run out to seal a commanding victory for Baird.
