Thursday Mens

I know what you're thinking. Dennis Roberts is going to have a sore jaw! And Deanna (next to him) is lucky as the bat just missed her. But that's not them. Dennis and Deanna are curling fans and that's safer...I mean let's face it, when was the last time a curling rock came flying into the stands. That would really have to be the high, hard one!

Lots of action in the Thursday Mens once again this week. Lots of teams hovering near the top of the leader board and the Dave Mitchell streak continues!

Ice C (Monday): Rick Rouselle vs Craig Roberts. WIN for Rouselle. The Rouselle rink continues on with an excellent season. They win the "That's What Goin' Postal Is All About baby!" Award.

Ice D (Tuesday): Yvon Valiquette vs Dave Mitchell. WIN for Mitchell. The veteran Mitchell squad has had a very impressive first half. They have thus far been unstoppable. The win the 'Invincibility" Award.

Ice A (Thursday): Chris Zagar vs Mike Laderoute. WIN for Laderoute. The Bionic Knee and his rink have turned it all around and are back posting wins. Hot And Cold, But Mostly Hot" Award.

Ice B: Rick Berthelot vs Jeff Mitchell. WIN for Berthelot. The Jeff Mitchell crew have hit a bit of a rough spot and will no doubt be looking to recapture some of that early season fire for the second half. They win the "Lookin' For A Match" award.

Ice C: Chris Astles vs Keith Rouselle. WIN for Astles. The Molson Exers are forced to take second place in this match up. They have won some, lost some and that may be a good strategy because maybe they are saving their run for the playoffs. They win the "Keppin' It Balanced" Award.

Ice D: Al Viel vs Jim Kendrick. WIN for Kendrick. The Kendrick rink quietly goes about the business of their games. They win some and lose some but definitely can move up the leader board and they may do this undetected. They win the "Flyin' Under The Radar" Award.

Ice A: (Late): Ben Lemieux vs Brian West. WIN for Lemieux. The Robb Road Express continues to bask in the glory of a real good season. This team lost in the final of the Club Championship last year and looks to be looking to get back to that final. They win the "Lookin' For Redemption" Award.

Ice B: Glen Austin vs John Hammond. WIN for Austin. The Hammond rink is a tough team despite this loss. This squad likes to play with alot of rocks in play and can always be counted on for a good game. They win the "Bring Yer A game" Award.

Ice C: Bob Villeneuve vs Francois Lemieux. WIN for Lemieux. The Villeneuve rink are a solid crew but it has been a tough first half for this squad. Nonetheless, there is still lots of curling left and this team will definitely be getting on a run before long. They win the "Has Anyone Seen Our Mojo?" Award.

Ice D: Brian Tonelli vs Michel Rivard. WIN for Tonelli. The Friendly Giant pulls out a win. Great news for the Big Guy and his squad. The Tonelli crew got off to a slow start but have picked up their game. They win the "Rebounders" Award. Good job guys.

So that's how it played out for this past Thursday. There is still time to sign up for the Boxing Day Spiel. Get your team in there for a fun day and an awesome spaghetti supper, along with the dance that night. This event has become a Blind River tradition...come out and enjoy yourself.

Rock on!
