End 1:
Team martin wins the coin toss and has red stones. Sitting one the button, icky draws around guards in the top twelve with good sweeping call for two points.
End 2:
A pretty boring end with some nice hits by both teams. Gerry Wilson makes a hit and stick with last rock to tie the game at two.
End 3:
Team Martin sits shot rock. Team Wilson has second shot in the 8-foot but exposed. Team martin have the next 3 closest stones in the twelve foot. A hit and stick would hve assured 5, but we just wanted to get rid of the rock for 3. Icky plays firm weigth and jams, but because of the good weight, Wilson's stone spins out, leaving Team Martin with 3.
End 4:
Team Wilson counters with 1 to close the gap to 5-3.
End 5:
The situation looked grim with icky's final rock to come.

Option A was the only way to get shot rock, but we had to come through the port. Option B was the safer shot, but it would have at best gotten us second shot and we would have to contend with the frost. Icky throws a good stone on line and the sweepers do a fantastic job of calling the weight. The shot reaches full 8-foot. We escape from a potentially fatal situation and give up 1 to stay one up.
End 6:
Sitting one, Wilson was unsuccessful on his takeout attempt. We have are given a light tap back for 2 but come up light. We take 1 and head into the final end up by 2.
End 7:
Wilson sits shor tock in the 4-foot and just exposed. Icky plays a decisive hit and roll behind the centre guard to sit on the button. Gerry plays a fantastic quiet come around to tap Team Martin's stone off the button to salvage one point. The game ends due to time constraints with Team Martin continuing it's unbeaten streak to 4 and icky's perosonal unbeaten streak to 9.
