Again, Salamander won the last end to grab the win by 20-17 as J Plunkett, M Collard, M Brown and skip N Warren came out on top.

On rink three, the Plashet Park team, skipped by J Cooper, with G Gale, F Adams and H Morley struggled against the Salamander team of J Lewis, J Lapping, T Payne and skip S Wilson, losing 19-12, sealing an overall 57-45 defeat.
