A CURLING team boasting three of its members from Dumfries and Galloway reclaimed the World Title for Scotland last weekend at the World Men’s Curling Championship.
Number one ranked Team Mouat completed a historic run through the BKT World Men’s Championship play-offs to beat Switzerland 5-4 in a dramatic final in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Dumfries’ Grant Hardie and Wigtownshire’s Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan are all part of the team which secured the trophy.
Skip Bruce Mouat said: “It’s been an interesting season, with some highs and some lows, but this is definitely the highest of the highs.
“Our first World Championship win two years ago was amazing because it was the first time we had won the Worlds, but this time we actually had to really battle for that win and drawing the four foot is like a skip’s dream, so I’m over the moon to have had that team shot to win a championship.”
On his teammates, Mouat added: “I can’t do this without them, they are unbelievable.
“Grant played some amazing shots in the games yesterday and Hammy and Bobby just make me look so good because they work so hard and sweep everything perfectly, so I love those guys to bits and I can’t thank them enough.”
