A few words about the end:
NOTE: I'm looking at the house from behind, Danny's team colour of rocks is Red.

I only started watching the end with the thirds last rock, Rennie came down and hit a rock in the 4 foot that was on the left side of center and rolled toward the center to lie just behind the T-line. The opposing skip, tying to avoid them counting a huge end, decided to freeze to it. His first shot was a touch too heavy and ended up bouncing off the rock pushing Rennie's rock into the back 4 foot. He ended up rolling over to the other side of center. Danny's first rock came down and hit the opposing teams rock and rolled to the left side into the 12 foot area. The opposing skip corner froze on the rock that was sitting back four. It wasn't enough for Danny, he came down and tapped the rock off the corner of the one the was sitting in the back four, his shooter stayed in the side of the four foot. When everything was down, there were 8 red rocks to be counted and no yellow rocks in the house at all!!!!

Thanks to Kevin Meyer for sending in the picture and story.
