Carriere and his team almost met their match with Dale Howrie's team in a game that came down to the very last rock. The victory gives the Carriere team a 7-1 record on the year.
Alan Hoffman's team sits in second place, followed by Gary Southgate and Brian Welford. Other winning skips Feb. 27 included Nicole Beausoleil, Southland Bus, Alana Love, Terry Kjargaard and Shirley Smith.
The Thursday night mixed league, hosted by Twin Rivers Curling Club, is composed of 20 teams.

Other league play takes place Monday and Tuesday nights and Tuesday and Thursday during the day. The curling club hosts a drop in night where anyone interested in throwing a few rocks can do so Friday nights. Wednesday night play sees the Business League on the ice.
