Wednesday Open 8 Ender

I know what you're thinking. Is Warren Neufeld turning into a reindeer? Well, as far as I know, he is not. In fact, Warren (and Rose) were in Kitchener last weekend and with the help of their moose call, they were showing support for Brad Jacobs who was in the parade there. Looks like they were having fun and they certainly had the support of the people around them, once these people found out what Warren was up to. Warren and Rose are longtime members of the BRCC, and in fact, are mainstays of the club. Both help out the club in so many ways and the BRCC is so fortunate to have these wonderful people as part of the membership. They both play in the Wednesday Open 8 Ender and Warren plays in the Thursday Mens. And they were out there last Wednesday, meeting between the sheets with all the other Wednesday night gamers.

Ice A: Glen Austin vs Tom St Jules. WIN for St Jules. The Wednesday Newfie Bullet was in tough against the red hot St Jules rink. Despite a back problem. Big Daddy was in fine form and made a ton of shots. But so did the rest of his team as well. Guy Ratte, curling in his second year, plays lead for this team and he had an excellent showing. So, it's the "Getting better" Award for Guy. I'm sure the Beatles would be proud of him.

Ice B: Ryan Hagger vs Hayley Horton. WIN for Hagger. With Christie Hagger at the helm, the Hagger crew handed the juniors a convincing second place finish. Little Abby Hagger was sparing for the juniors and I must say, what a delight it is to see this awesome little girl out there growing into the Roaring Game. She might be small, but she is big in so many ways. Despite the loss, you won't see Abby shedding any tears, she's tough stuff. So, it's the "Big Girls Don't Cry" Award for Abby. I'm sure Fergie would agree.

Ice C: Al Viel vs Lucy Ann Trudeau. WIN for Trudeau. Big win for the Trudeau squad in this come from behind victory. After going down 5 - 0 early in the game, the Trudeau rink managed to come back and win it in the 8th end. Great game. It's the "Beatin' The Odds" Award for this Trudeau squad. I'm sure Molly Hatchet would be on board.

Ice D: Warren Neufeld vs John Topash. WIN for Neufeld. If you have followed this blog for any length of time, then you will know that the Neufeld rink have lots of game and can rustle up a win at any one time. Great curling by this crew. It's "The Best" Award for them and I could not see Tina Turner disagreeing.

So, there you have it for another Wednesday night. This league is awesome and although there are 8 teams at present, I am sure that there will be many more teams next season. It's fun, check it out.

Rock On!
