Daytime

Team win-loss-tie

Coulter 7-2-2

Loranger 6-3-2

Martens 4-6-1

Walker 2-8-1

From the Hack: On Monday, Gail, Marty, Marian and Michael, of Team Loranger, read the ice well, placing their stones in favourable positions, allowing them to count at least one point per end, leading to an easy win over Team Martens. On the other sheet, Team Coulter secured another win, this time against Team Walker. Wednesday had the top two teams battling it out for the number one spot. Team Loranger took an early lead scoring four in the first and adding one more point in each of the second, fourth, fifth and seventh ends. Ron, skip of Team Coulter, told his team not to despair, the game isn’t over until the last stone is thrown. Team Loranger had a three point lead going into the eighth, and sure enough, Ron produced some magic and scored four with the hammer, to win the game and this session. On the other sheet, Team Walker racked up a second W vs Team Martens. Thanks to Karen and Marie for the treats this week. Good curling everyone!

Ladies Team win-loss-tie

Verstegen 3-1-1

McKay 3-1

Crawford 2-2-1

Walker 2-3

Baylis 1-4

From the Hack: This week was to determine who will play for the Foodland Trophy. An early lead by Team Crawford got Team Verstegen ready to fight back. Winning the next three ends, they were up one point heading home. Working around tight guards and backing, Judith scored one for the tie. Angelina had a revelation. On Sheet 2, a strong start by Team Baylis with Bonnie on fire setting up every end. Playing better with an audience, Team Walker pulled ahead, but Donna, always patient scored two to be the spoiler.
