The weather could have been kinder to the Finalists but both players adapted to the conditions. It was Darren Prentice that got out the blocks very quickly, showing the spectators the art of drawing. After five ends going into a 9-1 lead, Gordon Wilson (jun) was struggling to find his weight. the seventh end saw G.W. get 3 to make the score 10-4 , but it was not long that Darren got another run going with a 1,2,1, to get the winning post insight to lead 14-4, with Gordon scoring 2,1 the score now 14-7 but Darren was not to be done with the home run of 2,(0)2,2,(0)1 making the final score 21-10. The game was played in correct spirit both players shaking hands, and all the Prentice family went wild with delight. Darren follows his Father, and two Uncles who won the Championship. His Uncle Ian winning 1988, Uncle Grahame winning 1991and1994 and his father in 2007 and 2008. Also his Grandfather was a very well liked Secretary and President.
