The result, following last week’s defeat, leaves County in mid-table position and now, with just three matches remaining, they cannot afford any further slip ups.

Saturday’s match at the Gourock Park green saw County trail by five shots after five ends and by six at the halfway stage.

With 15 ends completed County had establishe­d an 80-74 lead, but sadly they failed to hold on over the final stages. County West had three winning rinks. David Ferguson won 26-11 against Stephen Fisher; Gary Malcomson beat John Fleming 20-15 while Jason Williams finished 24-12 ahead of Sandy Wotherspoo­n. Danny McCormick lost 25-13 to Jonathon Ross; Dougie Kerr went down 25-15 to Andy McLean while Sandy Deans lost 25-11 to David Horne.

Totals: Stirling County West 109-113 Renfrewshi­re West. On Saturday County head for Balfron green to take on local rivals Clackmanna­n and Kinross. District League Results of matches played last Friday were: Wallace section – Bannockbur­n
