They conceded 10 shots over the first 3 ends and even though the Braid men lifted a count of 5 shots and a single on the next 2 ends it was mostly one way traffic from then as the home rink won 12 of the next 16 ends to record an emphatic 30-11 victory.
Jimmy Alexander, Roy Kernohan, Robert Mark and Davy Balmer had a close game on rink 3 with C Farlow.
Scores were level after 9 ends and there was still nothing to separate the two rinks after 13 ends with the scores tied at 14-14. The Ewarts rink then won the next 4 ends to open up a 7 shot lead and even though the Braid men won the final ends they could only score a total of 5 shots which left the final score 21-19 in favour of the home rink.
