Curling: Edwards makes it six in a row in title chase Edwards makes it six in a row in title chase

Aberdeen's David Edwards continued to dominate the men's division of the Co-operative Funeralcare Scottish Curling Championships in Perth yesterday, beating Forfar's Murray Young 6-4 to record his sixth straight round-robin win and establish a clear two wins lead over the rest of the field.

Behind Edwards, three teams share second spot: Perth's David Smith, who beat Lockerbie's Graeme Black by 7-6, defending champion Tom Brewster from Aberdeen, who had an 8-5 victory over Murrayfield's John Hamilton, and Stirling's Logan Gray, who continued his recovery from a bad start earlier in the week with a 7-4 win over Stranraer's Jay McWilliam. Just behind them, and still fighting for a place in the weekend's medal games are Lockerbie's David Murdoch and inverness's Ewan MacDonald. Murdoch went down by 4-8 to MacDonald in yesterday afternoon's session, after giving up a score of three in the first end.
