1st end
Team Ross shows up with 2 spares, Joel Seahawk Matthews and Bert Manitoba Martin. Wide open first end sees Team Ross second Bert make a nice hit and roll off a center guard to a corner guard, followed by a nice hit and roll by Team Ross third Shaggy behind the corner guard. Team Anholt crashes on the guard leaving Shaggy the draw to the open side to lay 2. Anholt noses the double attempt followed by a hit by Ross leaving Anholt another shot at the double. He jams his attempt leaving Ross a open hit for 2.
2nd end
Another open end sees Anholt team attempting to freeze to Ross stones. Anholt makes a nice double with his first. With his last he is attempting to hit and roll out for the blank but ends up sticking around for his 1.
3rd end
Another fairly open end. Only a couple guards in play. Ross gets 1 stone guarded on the corner. They also have a rock in the 4 foot. Shaggy splits the house to lie 3. Team Anholt attempts to hit the stone in the 4 foot but just nudge it leaving Ross lieing 3. Ross attempts to put another rock near the 4 foot leaving Anholt the option of a double or a tough freeze. Ross comes up light leaving Anholt a shot at a come around to get out of the end. Anholt's last stone over curls and crashes on the guard leaving Ross a open draw for 4 which is made by the outstanding sweeping of Joel and Bert.
4th end
Anholt again attempts to get rocks in play but just never get in a great position for them and Team Ross keeps hitting them out and sticking around. Anholt attempts a wide outturn draw with skips first stone between 2 guards against 3 Ross counters. Anholt makes it through the port but is heavy and slides through the rings. Team Anholt decide that things are not going their way and call it a game without completing the rest of the 4th end. So it was of to the lounge for a Christmas Drink.
