On Monday 12 February 2024, a Dumbarton rink consisting of Jim MacDonald (skip), David Armstrong (third), David Shanks (second) and Gus Wallace (lead) travelled to Greenacres for the District Medal match against Brookfield, which was the first meeting between the two clubs.
Dumbarton won the toss and were looking good in the first end when an tactical error by Jim allowed Brookfield to take control of the end. Instead of asking David Armstrong to place a stone to the front of the house to block the draw, he asked to tap back on a blue Brookfield stone from the back of the house. David executed the shot to raise the potential score for 2 to 5. However, not blocking the draw allowed Suzanne (Brookfields' skip) to draw to the top of the 4 foot and gain cover. It proved to be a difficult stone to move as Brookfield opened the scoring with a single steal.
Dumbarton struggled in the 2 end to match Brookfield's guard and draw game. Brookfield were counting 5 as Jim prepared to throw his final stone. With the shot stone sitting on the button the only option available was to cut down the shot count, which was executed by raising the white guard stone into the 4-foot conceding a second steal of one.
Dumbarton soon settled though and took control of the 3rd end with some accurate hit a rolls leaving Jim with a draw to the 8-foot with the hammer for a count of 3 and a 3-2 lead after 3 ends.
