Monday night (11th February 2019) was the Dunbartonshire Province Final of the Allan Cup.

The winners would represent the Province at the Scottish Province Championships in November 2019.

The final matched Cadder v Kelvinside. This is becoming a rather regular feature comments Gary Macfarlane, who lost in the same match up in the Rink Championship final this year.

In the first end Gary Macfarlane had to draw to the 4 foot against 2 stones, for a 1 - 0 lead. In the second Kelvinside took a 2 after a couple of loose Cadder shots.

After forcing the single in the 3rd, Kelvinside took a 3, for a 5 - 1 lead. 

In the 5th end Cadder managed a 2 for a 5 - 4 deficit.

The crucial shot of the final came in the 6th end with Cadder buried on the 4 foot, when Al Schreiber played an excellent fine 'in wick' roll of his own stone to take a 3, and an 8 - 4 lead.

In the 7th Gary Macfarlane was forced to draw for a further single and the game was over  - 8 - 5 to Kelvinside

Very well done to Alasdair Schreiber (skip), Stuart Taylor, Andy Callander, and Scott Gibson, and hard luck to Gary Macfarlane (skip), Andrew Craigie, Euan Dagen, and Gary Cannell.
