The 2018 Stirling International Wheelchair Curling Tournament was won by the Canadian national team, which was skipped by double Paralympian, Mark Ideson.
In the final, the Canadians beat the national team of Sweden by 7 shots to 6 with the Canadians coming from behind to secure the title by taking a double at the last end.
The event, which was made up of national teams from 11 different countries, was a great success with some fantastic curling on show over 4 days at the Peak. Paralympic Champions China withdrew at a late stage with their place in the draw taken by a Scotland ‘B’ team, which featured Stirling Wheelchair Curling Club member Charley Mckenna.
Scotland finished 6th in the standings with the Scotland ‘B’ team rounding off their tournament with an 8 – 3 victory over a strong Swiss team.
Many of the teams will be back in Stirling for the 2019 World Wheelchair Curling Championships, which is held at the Peak from March 3rd to 10th.
