Looking at the scoreboards after the first three ends, half the teams were scoreless when the New Horizons were curling Feb. 4. Each of the losing teams were down three, except for Rod Forester's rink who got that much in the first end. At the same time, Dick Horrell scored a big five to go that much up on Gordon Munn.
Doc Hall was up a couple after three ends, but then was looking at a big five when he went to throw the final rock. He managed to escape with giving up only one. He was not so lucky in the next end as he gave up a steal of three to Peter Pauls. Hall came back with a one-two punch, but there was a red wall in front protecting two rocks. Two too many and Pauls came away with the win.
Doug Belyk was not satisfied with one in each end for the first three. His gang had to add a big four in the fourth. Belyk kept on stealing. It wasn't until the seventh that Bob Krismer got a point.
What a game it was between Gordon Munn and Dick Horrell. Would you believe it was nine to seven after five? Two five enders and it was tied at nine after six. It was only one end that there was a single point scored. It was the eighth and it went to the Horrell rink for the win.
It looked like Eugene Korpach was going to run away with the game after they scored three in the fourth, but Allan Rogers came back with three to keep one up. Korpach was not going to let that happen. His team counted one, then three and came away with their second win.
Ed Kjargaard allowed the Forester Four to count in the first three. Kjargaard then surprised Forester with a four to be only one down at the half way point. Kjargaard stole two to go one up after five, then they were tied after six. Forester's raise in the eighth was a little short and he registered his second defeat.
Away over on sheet six, it was Alexander Scott scoring one in each of the first three. He then gave up two in the next two to be down one to Bryan Peever after five. Scott counted one in six and five in seven to earn the win.
