Thursday Mens

I know what you're thinking. Did Kelly James stop wearing his glasses? And where is he curling? And is that a coffee cup he is holding? Well, that's not him. Kelly is currently in his second year of a hiatus that keeps him out of the regular leagues at the BRCC but he spares every now and again and we fully expect him to return to the Roaring Game before long. I mean let's face it, curling is in him and he will never be able to shake it, much like the members of the BRCC Mens League. They were out there last Thursday as the first week of the mens League kicked off. Unfortunately, I have only a few results as there were hardly any results posted on the board. I would have to ask the skips of the Mens to post their results so I can find out all the wins and losses. Without this info, it is difficult to post the results.

Ice C (Tuesday): Craig Roberts vs Yvon Valiquette. WIN for Valiquette. The Valiquette crew post their first win of the season. This is usually a tough team and they generally have a strong showing every season. They win the "One Way Or Another" Award, although Blondie might have reservations.

Ice D: Al Viel vs John Hammond. WIN for Viel. The Viel squad is "new and improved" with 4 seasoned players looking to make a run at the Dominion Club Championship this year. They will be a tough crew to contend with. They win the "Untouchable One" Award this week. Tom Cochrane and Red Ryder would approve.

Ice C (Thursday): Andrew Roberts vs Chris Zagar. WIN for Roberts. Andrew Roberts has been playing curling for a few years now. He has steadily improved year after year and regularly skips his own squad in the Mixed as well as the Mens. Andrew is one of the more stylish skips donning pin stripe pants and a fedora. He wins the "I Am Beautiful" Award but I cannot say for certain whether Christina Aguilera would agree. If he can sing as well as look fashionable, perhaps she would coach him on The Voice.

Ice B: Bob Villeneuve vs Brian Tonelli. WIN for Villeneuve.  The veteran Villeneuve squad post a win for their first outing of the year. This crew is always well up there in the standings by the time playoffs roll around. This crew is well capable of manufacturing wins and why not, the thought process is big time with these guys. I mean look at Bob and Doug (Kearns)...both in the law profession. Thinking it through is what they do! So, it's the "lawyers In Love" Award for these two. I'm sure Jackson Browne is scratching his head over it.

So, that's it for this first Thursday. Sorry about the sparse results but that's all I have. Sometimes I have the time to call around and find out the results but by and large, I use the results board at the club. So, please post your results! Please don't make me beg!

Rock On!
