Stewartry Province Medal curling competition took place at the Ice Bowl in Dumfries last week
The final of the Stewartry Province Medal competition took place at the Ice Bowl in Dumfries last week.
The competition, sponsored by James Kingan & Sons saw seven rinks from six Stewartry clubs battle for the honour of representing the Stewartry Province in the National Province Finals to be held at Greenacres Ice Rink in Howwood, Renfrewshire.
After some excellent curling the original six clubs were whittled down to the final two – Lochrutton Curling Club and Dalbeattie Curling Club.

The final was a cagey affair with Lochrutton taking and early lead before being pegged back by Dalbeattie. As the game progressed each team had opportunities to score and, despite some excellent play from Dalbeattie, in the latter stages Lochrutton stretched away to win nine shots to three.
David Kingan from James Kingan & Sons was kind enough to attend the final and present each team with their prizes and certificates.
Stewartry Province Curling is grateful to James Kingan & Sons for their support which is invaluable in promoting curling in the Stewartry Province.
