Rennie - Update

Last night saw the top of the table clash between Willie and Sandy. 
Sandy played casual and arranged for fellow rival skip, Dave Munro to play in his place.
Sandy's team was also suffering injury with Graeme unable to sweep.  (Not sure who suffered the most, John G and Frances who had to put up with Graeme pacing beside them 'urging' them on or Graeme himself, desperate to sweep but unable !)
Team Kerr got off to a great start with Willie drawing with his last stone to take a 3.  Dave then fought back to take a 2 at the next four ends (sometimes with Willie's help!) to take a commanding lead of 8 - 3 after five ends.  Dave then elected to 'allow' Willie to take a 2 at the penultimate end only to see Shelagh superbly directing the sweeping to get a double wick with the final stone to secure an unplanned (by team Nicoll jnr) 3. With another great final stone Team Kerr managed to steal another 2 in the final end to deny Sandy the title by securing a peel.
The top two teams now only have one game left and are separated by two points, so Sandy requires a peel in his final game against Team Aberdein.  Sandy also has a one end and two shots up 'cushion' over the Kerr Squad who will face James Logan in their final game.
James Logan's team, helmed by Elinor took a narrow win over Andy Aberdein's squad to keep them mathematically in contention, but they would have to win their last games well and Sandy and Willie would need to lose their last games.
Team Munro looks secure in fourth place BUT if Andy beats Sandy in his next game the destination of the wooden spoon could come down to the final clash between the two contenders !
