Tuesday Ladies

I know what you're thinking. Is Richard Lachapelle really a homeless Jedi knight? Well, that's not him, Richard got a home and I'm pretty sure he has no Jedi skills. But, he IS the BRCC Club Associate and he will need some Jedi skills...at least the multi-tasking ones because he looks after the ice, the bar and cleans the club.

Richard is new to curling and is doing his best to learn all the aspects of his role...so, help him out where you can. Give him pointers and help him while he is on this learning curve.

Meanwhile, the Tuesday ladies were out there again last night for the second week of regular play. With 13 teams, the ladies League is strong as ever and the BRCC Ladies is a really fun time. Never a dull moment with these gals.

Ice A: Hayley Horton vs Christie Hagger. WIN for Hagger . Speaking of learning curves, the junior ladies are in the learning phase now and as a result, will have to take some lumps in order to grow in the game. But, these girls are awesome and they are prepared to don red backsides for the time being but be forewarned, the time will come where they will be dealing out some beatings.

Ice B: Annie Austin vs Makayla Alloway. WIN for Austin. That's two in a row for the Rez Girls. This is a veteran team and I think they will hover at the top of the leader board for the season. But there are alot of good teams in this league and they will have to continue to consume a cup of focus prior to each game. And you know what they say, A cup of Focus a day keeps the spankings away!

Ice C: Marg Tivy vs Shirley Lemieux. WIN for Lemieux. Just coming off a loss, the Lemieux rink have found their MOJO and knocked off the Iron Bridge Belles, a veteran crew in this league. I'm sure the Belles will be looking to tan some hides next week.

Ice D: Beth Laderoute vs Joanna Hammond. WIN for Laderoute. The Laderoute squad are also just coming off a loss but were able to inflict some curling pain on the newly-formed Hammond crew. With Joanna breaking away from her mother's squad and going out on her own, perhaps she needs to finish healing from where she cut the curling umbilical cord and then I'm sure this team will find their groove.

Ice B (Late): Christine Sholberg vs Paula Sommers. WIN for Sommers. That's the first win for the Sommers rink. Hopefully, marriage will allow Red to get in the zone and it sure doesn't hurt to have 3 awesome players (and ladies) on her side. The Sommers crew are taking care of the Ladies League this season and it looks like they are well on their way to a successful run. Put a few wins with it and it will have the makins of a stellar season.

Ice C: Anita Moran vs Liz Rouselle. WIN for Rouselle.  The Rouselle rink posts a "W' for their second time out this year. And they beat a tough squad as well. The Moran crew is full of veteran players and will be a force to be reckoned with this season. But, the Rouselle rink is also a veteran crew and they will be looking to reclaim the title of top team, especially coming off a tough season last year.

Without a doubt, the top squad title is not going to be easy to get for any squad. there are some excellent teams in this league and it is anybody's guess who will come out on top. But it's really early in the season and there is a ton of curling ahead. undoubtedly, it will be a dogfight to the finish...actually NO, it will be a "catfight" to the finish!

Rock On!
