Ice A: John Hammond vs Hayley Horton. WIN for Hammond. Well, the junior ladies took on a tough squad on Monday night. I watched their game as best I could from 3 sheets away and although they were down for most of the game, it was really impressive to see them not giving up. This team is growing, I can see it in them. Won't be long and they will be a tough little team. They win the "We Ain't Givin' Up" Award. Stay with it ladies. Remember, a cup of focus a day keeps the curling demons away!
Ice B: Christie Hagger vs Tom St Jules. WIN for Hagger. The Hagger crew is certainly coming into their own. These guys and gals play good curling and they are players to watch. They win the "Entering The Spotlight" Award.
Ice C: Vola Roberts vs Andrew Roberts. WIN for Vola Roberts with Al Gemmell at the helm. But this was the game qualifying for basketball status. With such a high score, it is safe to say that this was a dogfight the whole way. In the end, Andrew and his crew were forced to accept second place. But this is another team that has gelled and they are playing good curling and have become a solid squad. They win the "We Be Beatin' Our Chests" Award.
Ice D: Warren Neufeld vs Glen Austin. WIN for Neufeld. The Wednesday Newfie Bullet was knocked off the tracks by the Neufelds, who were firing on all cylinders for this match up. They had the advantage right from the start, however, since they have the Rose Factor and they win the "Rose Factor" Award. It is always advantageous to have Rose on your side regardless of what you are doing!
So that's how it played out this past Wednesday. The Open 8 Ender is a good league. It will be even better when it expands and I am thinking that there will be even more teams playing in this next season.
Rock On!

Geez, I wish someone would comment every week, so Glen knows that his blog is being read and he is not a voice in the wilderness. Don't take it for granted, people. There is a lot of thought and time behind this blog.
