Happy Men's Closing Day

Anna Siderova. Skip for Team Russia. This team has made huge inroads in the Russian Curling program. I like this team, they have a good game. But they will need it, because she will be playing against the US in a bid for the 4th spot in the playoffs. If Russia loses, there will be several teams at 5 losses that will play in a tie breaker. One of them is the US ladies. Another would be the Swiss but they will have to win their game this afternoon. If Siderova wins, there will be no tie breakers. But the Canadian ladies are in the wind for whoever comes out of this shuffle. They ended up going 8 - 3 in regular round play with wins against China and then Japan this morning. The Canucks look good out there now. They look to be in control and are confident. They need to win their next 2 games straight to get to the final.

And Happy Mens  Closing Day! It's finally here, the premiere event at the BRCC. With games beginning at 6 pm tonight, there are 48 teams playing in this excellent tournament. I'm stoked!

It's confirmed, the top team in the BRCC Ladies League is Team Anita Moran. Great job ladies! This squad of Anita Moran, Lucy Ann Trudeau, Denise Hutchings and Paulie Ann James were consistent all year and they won the vast majority of their games, ending their season by giving the Red Bum Award to my beloved Rez Girls. I should mention that Pauli Ann James is a junior curler and she is an awesome young curler. She has a solid delivery and given time, she will will be a tough act to follow. I'm hoping this squad stays together for next year.

So that's it for now. My first game tonight is 10 pm and Thursdays always turn out to be a late night. I will attempt to update the action at the BRCC Mens Closing but I cannot guarantee it but you can count on the results following the spiel!

Rock On!
