The match was very even during the first half with the score locked at 10-all after 11 ends, before Brad's boys poured on the heat to go out to a 17-11 lead at the 16th end.

Alisdair, Mick and Mick then began to work their way back into the match to draw level at 19-all at the 23rd end.

Suffice to say the last two ends were tense. However, Mick's team got three shots on the last end to take the match 22-20.

Congratulations to Alisdair and the two Micks on a great win.

As an aside, Steve and Craig won this event with their father Ken in 2005 and since then have been in the runners-up team six times over the past nine years.
