Kate and her rink of Catherine Brown, Jill Florence and Elspeth Johnston beat Barbara Watt’s team, the reigning Scottish Senior Champions, 5-4 in a nail-biting final.

Meanwhile, at Lockerbie, the prestigious Superspiel was won by a rink skipped by Frazer Hare from Stranraer. Wigtown curler Christine Cannon was also there warming up her rink ahead of a crack at the Scottish Senior title in 2013. She was beaten in the quarter-finals.
