Whytes lag besegrade Kyle Waddells lag med 8-6 efter extra slut i herrfinalen, medan Hendersons lag slog Callie Soutars lag med 7-4 i damfinalen, båda på lördagen.

Hardie Engineering Scottish Curling Championships avslutades i Dumfries med raka trepeatar för Ross Whyte i herrklassen och Fay Henderson i damklassen. På lördagen besegrade Team Whyte Team Kyle Waddell i en jämn final med 8-6 efter extra slut. I damfinalen vann Team Henderson över Team Callie Soutar med 7-4. Whyte, rankad nummer fyra i världen, har varit i stark form. Förra månaden besegrade hans lag Waddell med 6-3 i herrfinalen i Crown Royal Players' Championship, vilket markerade Whytes andra Grand Slam of Curling-titel i karriären. Ett inlägg på sociala medier belyste bedriften: «En stor seger för Ross Whytes lag i den skotska herrcurlingfinalen, då de tog hem tredje raka inhemska titeln!» (Curling Stadium Europe). Noterbart frånvarande från turneringen var Team Bruce Mouat och Team Rebecca Morrison, som representerade Storbritannien vid Olympiska vinterspelen Milano Cortina 2026. Skottlands curlingmyndigheter kommer snart att annonsera de utvalda lagen för VM. Dessa inhemska framgångar understryker talangdjupet i skotsk curling, med Whyte och Henderson som fortsätter dominera på nationell nivå.
