Tuesday Ladies

I know what you're thinking. Is Annie Austin in some kind of a retro curling tournament (second from right in front). And why are they using Little Rocker rocks? Well, that's not her but regardless of that, I am going to incur a serious infraction on the home front all the same. But, as a curling scribe, I have to be willing to take one for the team from time to time.

This IS a neat picture. Lady curlers were well-dressed back in the day. No Lulu Lemon or yoga pants for these gals. In fact, by the looks of it, the hat was the big deal.

Well, they might not have had any giant hats on last night at the Tuesday Ladies, but the BRCC belles were out in fine form and they were all looking good. And they were using regular-sized rocks as well.

Ice A: Deanna Roberts vs Jamie Elmore. WIN for Roberts. A solid showing for this newly formed Roberts crew and it appears that Deanna is settled in well at the helm. She should have no problem keeping her ship afloat and for that, it's the "Son Of A Son Of A Sailor" Award for her. Jimmy Buffet is waiting for her in Margaritaville!

Ice B: Marty Mitchell vs Liz Rouselle. WIN for Rouselle. Coming off her first win last week, the Mitchell crew were forced to take second place against the tough Rouselle. rink. But, despite this loss, there is a whole long season ahead and lots of time for Team Mitchell to move forward. Personally, I think this team will be a contender for the top spot at the end of the season but they will have to get by other tough squads. They win the "You're Going To make It Afterall" Award. I'm sure Mary Tyler Moore would approve and instead of Marty throwing her hat into the air, she'll be throwing a curling broom. (Not everyone is going to get this Mary Tyler Moore thing...I think I just dated myself!)

Ice C: Anita Moran vs Beth Laderoute. WIN for Moran. Well, the Moran crew appears to be looking to repeat last year's big year but this is a new squad. Nonetheless, they look good out there and here's another contender for top spot. They look like they have already begun their ascent to the top so it's the "Rocket Man" Award for them. Elton John will be happy to hear it.

Ice D: Annie Austin vs Lucy Ann Trudeau. WIN for Trudeau. The newly-formed Trudeau crew hands the Rez Girls their second loss in as m,any weeks. This Trudeau crew is another tough looking crew and here's  another squad that could grab top spot. Lucy Ann loves the Roaring Game and will play every chance she gets. So, it's the "Game Of Love" Award for her. Carlos Santana (and Andrew Roberts) would be happy.

Ice C (late): Joanna Hammond vs Christie Hagger. WIN for Hammond.  That's two in a row for Nanny McPhee and her squad. But this one was a nail biter.The Hammond squad were in control but Team Hagger battled back and it was a tie game coming home. Great finish. Watch out for this Hammond squad this year. Seems to be some good chemistry happening here between Joanna and the juniors and the results are apparent. It's the "Good Vibrations" Award for this squad. I'm sure Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch would approve. (Once again, I just dated myself).

And here's some other news for the BRCC Ladies League. On Oct 29th, it will be Pink On The Rink night. That's right, all lady curlers should don something pink for this night. And, you could win a pink basket. ($2.00 a ticket) So, get yer pink duds out and have a blast.

Rock On!
