Tuesday Ladies

Here's more physics at work, but man, I don't know about this one. But I do know about the physics when you are on the ice. Brushing is a fundamental part of the game. And lots of physics. If you want a rock to stay straight or if you want it to go further, then brushing is the way to accomplish this. If you are a front end player, you should know that you play a paramount role in the game. Good brushing often makes the difference between a shot being made and one being missed. Knowing how far a rock is going to go is a skill but the ability to do this and relay this information to your skip helps the line call and allows a plan B call if necessary. The Tuesday Ladies League have some good brushers and they were out there this week making it work for their skips.

Ice A: Myra Kiernan vs Hayley Horton. WIN for Kiernan. The junior ladies are still pluggin' away at it. They took the loss BUT, they are having better games and that is how it happens. As they endure their share of losses, they are learning and there will come a time when they are going to start winning their share of games. One thing to be admired about these young ladies is their enthusiasm and desire to improve, both individually and as a team. Some of the experiences they take away from this will be life long. They win the "Reddest Backsides But We're Learnin'" Award. Keep up the good work ladies!

Ice B: Beth Laderoute vs Liz Rouselle. WIN for Rouselle. The Rouselle rink have had a solid start and I expect that they will hover near the top of the leader board. They win the "We're Back In The Saddle Again" Award.

Ice C: Christie Hagger vs Joanna Hammond. WIN for Hagger. The Hammond Newbies broke through last week with a win but had to take second place this week against the Hagger rink. This Hagger squad is a tough rink and they have some serious game. Christie Hagger has been at the helm for a few years now and she has loads of experience built up. She wins the "Poised To Strike" Award.

Ice D: Anita Moran vs Paula Sommers. WIN for Moran. The run continues for the Moran crew. These ladies have played some good curling and sit at the top of the leader board. Great start for these ladies. They win the "We Be Settin' The Bar" Award.

Ice B (Late): Marg Tivy vs Annie Austin. WIN for Tivy. In this come from behind victory, the Iron Bridge Belles prove once again that when they burn the gas to come from 'the Bridge", they are coming to play. And this veteran team can play. They win the "Road Trip To Victory" Award.

So that is how it played out last Tuesday. Signed up for the Curffle Spiel yet? There is still time! get your team in there. Call Cathy Jensen. Call Laurie Kendrick. Sign up on the list at the club. Lots of ways to get into this spiel.
