Monday Mixed

Now I am NOT a wrestler but if I had to name this maneuver, I would have to call it the "Arse Ripper". Once again, just another reason why I curl. I might get a spanking from time to time but I have never had an arse ripper and I am not looking forward to having one anytime soon. The Monday Night Mixed League was out there again this week and although there were NO funky maneuvers, there was some good curling and some real good laughs.

Ice A: Jerry Jensen vs Sandy Milroy. WIN for Jensen. With longtime BRCC pal, Scotty Smith, at the helm, the Jensen squad pulls off the win against the tough Milroy crew. Lucy Ann Trudeau was throwing last for the Milroy rink but despite her best efforts, had to accept second. She wins the "Curling Doldrums" Award.

Ice B: Brian West vs Gator Fortin. NO INTEL. I'm not sure what the outcome of this match was but there is no doubt that there was a fun time for the entire 6 ends. The Fortin rink are awesome. They have game and they know how to have fun out there on the ice. The win the "Cloud Nine Curling" Award, winning is optional.

Ice C: Al Viel vs Francois Lemieux. WIN for Viel. The Viel crew wins this one minus Kristy Blanchet. Apparently she dropped a crock pot on her foot and broke her toe. Ouch...and she wins the "This Little Piggy Limped To Market" Award.

Ice D: Glen Austin vs Dan McMillan. WIN for McMillan. A convincing win for the McMillan rink as they sent the Monday Newfie Bullet careening off the tracks. This squad played an excellent game as a collective but Mary Shamas, in particular, made some real nice shots throughout the game and was instrumental in helping her team post the win. She wins the "I Took The Wind Right Out Of Their Sails" Award. Great job Mary.

So that's how it played out on Monday Night. And when the games were over, we all went out to brush the snow off our vehicles. With that reminder that winter is upon us, hopefully you get your snow tires on and make sure you are ready for the colder weather.

Rock On!
