Curling: Mouat and Howden are out of luck
Edinburgh curlers Bruce Mouat and Colin Howden were both thwarted by the luck of the draw as they lost to the
two eventual finalists in
yesterday’s Scottish Mixed Championship quarter-finals at Curl Aberdeen.
Mouat’s rink was beaten 7-3 by a high-powered quartet which included newly-crowned world champions Eve Muirhead plus Karen Barthelemy and ex-world champions Ewan MacDonald and Euan Byers.
Howden went down 7-2 to Stewarton skip David Mundell who later lost the final to Muirhead’s team as the 2012 champions retained their mixed title with a 7-3 victory.
