but that is not all the curling action this week. The Wednesday Open 8 Ender had action of their own at the BRCC with 3 games to report.
Ice A: Andrew Roberts vs Al Viel. WIN for Viel. In this come from behind victory, the Viel crew were chasing the whole game but managed to take a big 5 in the 7th and went on to win the game. I guess they do their best work under pressure and that is why they win the "Under Pressure" Award. Queen would be proud (if they were curlers).
Ice B: Hayley Horton vs Ryan hagger. WIN for Hagger. The Hagger squad managed to pull out thew win but they had their hands full with the tough Juniors. There were several points where the Hagger crew were looking like they were going to give up a bundle but they managed to make some magic and save the ends. They win the "All I Need Is A Miracle" Award. Mike and the Mechanics would be proud (if they were curlers).
Ice C; Glen Austin vs Tom St Jules. WIN for Austin. The Wednesday Newfie Bullet were in the zone much to Big Daddy's chagrin. The Newfie Bullet has had a good season in this league this year with Joanne Niganobe as a new addition in the third position. Joanne plays alot of games during the year and has honed her skills nicely. She wins the "getting Better" Award. The Beatles would be proud (if they were curlers).
So that's how the rocks curled in this week's Open 8 Ender. With just 2 more weeks left, this league is also winding down. It's been a good year for this league and there is lots of room for other teams to join in on the action. Looking for another curling night, try the Wednesday Open 8 Ender. great games and great fun.
In the Thursday mens League, the playoffs continue:
Team Mtchell won over Team Laderoute. They will go on to play Team Dan Berthelot with that winner playing the winner of Team Villeneuve (who seem to be on a roll) and the Robb Road Express so the current club champions will have to hold it together regardless of who wins that one. Great finish this season for the Villenueve crew. I guess they did save the best for last.
Team Villeneuve won over Team Rouselle. After such a great season, the Posties are out after Round 2 of the playoffs. But they have had a spectacular year and although this might be a bit of an anticlimax, they can hold their heads high. And still on a roll, the Villeneuve squad will have to get by the Robb Road Express next so they will need some extra kinetic energy for that one.
Team Hagger won over Team Astles. Team Hagger are awesome. They are a new team and this is Ryan's first year as a skip in the Mens and they have had an excellent showing. They will meet the Thursday Newfie Bullet next in Round 3. The Bullet has had this week off and have been loading up on the coal so they will have some steam for this game. Note to Team Hagger: bring your seatbelts!
Team Dan Berthelot won over the Molson Exers. Despite a solid year, the Molson Exers are off to the B side while Team Berthelot continue on to Round 3. They will have their hands full with Team Mitchell but if they play to their potential, they will be moving on.
The Robb Road Express won over Team Francois Lemieux. The Robb Road Express are a powerhouse this year and you might recall that they lost the final last year to Team Mitchell. Undoubtedly they are looking for redemption and that might come but they will have to get by Team Villeneuve first. With the late season roll going on, the Villeneuve crew have the potential to derail the Robb Roaders. This will be a good game to watch!
So that's it for another week. The Mens Closing is just around the corner and the excitement is already in me and most likely everyone else that takes part in this hootenanny. It won't be long now!
Rock On!
