Tuesday Ladies

I know what you're thinking. Is Kristy Blanchet the boss? Well, that's not her but she does wear the white hat at the BRCC (metaphorically speaking). She's the president of the BRCC again this year and works pretty darn hard for our cool little club. She's there alot and is always doing her best to see that things are running well at the BRCC. Of course, she's got the other board members behind her and it's their effort that makes it all work and we continue to be a strong club in a small town.

Thanks to Mike Laderoute and Richard Lachapelle for getting a sheet of ice ready for us for a Mixed Doubles game. It was the only game that was being played late so it was good of these guys to set us up. And speaking of Mixed Doubles, I have been playing a few games now and it's awesome. It's a faster game with only 5 rocks being thrown per side. I think a one day tournament would get alot of teams out to play in a cash spiel type of set up. Two person mixed teams playing Mixed Doubles. I'm going to put up a list at the  BRCC to see how much interest we could get going for this. Believe me, mixed doubles is a neat game. Lots of finesse shots and an excellent way to practice your skills. If you see a list up and are interested in a one day thing, sign up and let's see where it goes!

The Tuesday Ladies were NOT playing Mixed Doubles. They were playing regular draw and jostling for position on the leader board.

Ice A: Makayla Alloway vs Christie Hagger. WIN for Hagger. The Hagger crew are in a solid position on the leaderboard and why  not, they are a solid team. Donna Lediett throws second stones for this squad and I cannot remember if I mentioned it before, but this gal can curl up a storm. She makes alot of shots for her team. She's a regular at the BRCC and she plays at least twice a week. She's living proof that practice helps! She wins the "Big Gun" Award.

Ice B: Hayley Horton vs Marg Tivy. WIN for Tivy. With Hayley absent, Akeeshia Trudeau took the helm but could not muster the strength to overtake the Red Hot Iron Bridge Belles. These ladies are on a tear posting the wins like they are goin' out of style. They win the "Rip-Roarin'" Award.

Ice C: Christine Scholburg vs Joanna Hammond. NO INTEL. I am not sure what happened here. The Hammond rink are a newer team and have been looking to find their place on the leader board. They are playing better games and with the enthusiastic players on this squad, good things await them. That's why they get the "Yellow Brick Road" Award.

Ice D: Liz Rouselle vs Paula Sommers. WIN for Rouselle. The Rouselle rink seems to have found their mojo and are moving up the leader board. This is another tough team and they will be contenders for top spot I should think. They win the "Red Bull" Award because this team has wings.

Ice C (Late): Anita Moran vs Shirley Lemieux. WIN for Moran. The tough Moran rink is another crew that are in a good position on the leader board. It's been a great start for these ladies and rightly so, these are veteran players so they can make shots. They win the "Other Big Gun" Award.

Ice D: Beth Laderoute vs Myra Kiernan. WIN for Kiernan. Myra and her rink posting another "W". This is another team that has the potential to place themselves at top of the leader board. They win the "Comin' On Strong" Award. This is another team to watch.

So that's how it played out for this Tuesday Ladies. With 4 more games left until the half way mark, lots of room for teams to get on a roll and juggle the leader board.

Rock On!
