OPENING IN-CLUB TOURNAMENT
On May 25th the club held its first In-Club Tournament of the 2024 season. Unfortunately, the weather was less than cooperative. Light rain started towards the end of the first game, but all rinks completed game #1 without getting too wet. After a brief shower, the weather started to clear up and the second game got underway. However, the rain returned towards the end of that game and the tournament was called after completion of the second game.
This year the tournament had two sponsors -- Spectacular Water Systems, who have sponsored this tournament in previous years and a new sponsor, Benjamin Moore. The club wishes to acknowledge and thank both sponsors.
Thirty-one members (10 teams) participated in the event. The top three teams all had two wins and their total scores were very close. The team of Al Bell, Donna Longman & Alan Loney, was ahead of the other two teams by only 2 points and was awarded the trophy. In second place was the team of Carl Ferguson, Laura Mounce & Eve Gorringe. Third place was taken by Brent Bayley, John Ledgerwood & Helen Kowalski. The second & third place teams were tied in both for and against points. It was the number of ends won that determined their placement. Bill Arthur, Ernie Sapinski & Dana Williams were the high one-game winners. Congratulations to all winners and thanks to everyone who braved the rain and completed both games.
