After a three-week stand down and on new ice, the New Horizons were back curling Dec. 10. Doc Hall started off by scoring on the first end, but gave up a two, four and then another four and Lyle Darwent had it easy. It was end five when Hall came back with three, but it was not enough.
Kjargaard versus Belyk started as the game to watch on sheet two because Kjargaard was a half game up on his opponent and he wanted to keep the lead. Kjargaard did so by posting a deuce on the first end.Belyk came back on the next end and racked up one.They changed ones until Kjargaard scored another two and then a one to go on to win. Up until this time, it was thought Kjargaard had gone through without a loss, but not so as he did have a loss to the Chadwick group earlier on. It still leaves him on top, but only by a half game.
It was the two in the second end that kept the Krismer team on top of the Korpach bunch on sheet three until they gave up a steal in the sixth. Being two up coming home was not enough and Bob Krismer came away smiling.
The layoff did Al Rogers good as they came back with vengeance, giving up one on the first. They then scored a bunch of threes.He did let Dick Horrell get a three in the sixth, but still went on to win.
In the afternoon draw, it looked like the Forester four was to walk away with a win over Allie Raycraft as they scored in the first two.It was not to be done as she retaliated in the next two ends to go one up.However, Forester scored again and again for the win.
Gregoire gave up only one point in the first five ends and went on to give the Peever group a lesson in curling, but not by a big score.
The Dudek dandies let the Puff-Foster rink have a couple in the first end, but came back to lead by three at the halfway mark and by five coming home.Wally Gordey said it was a pleasure skipping the girls and not only because of their curling.
Bruce Chadwick and his crew did not let the Darwent win in the morning bother them as they led by seven after five and cruised to victory.
With one more game to play before the shuffle of players for the spring season, it is the Ed Kjargaard team of Tom Foster and William and Marguerite Wintonyk who are a half game up on the Belyk bunch of Gordon Munn, John Chomyn and Bob Johnson.They are trailed by the Gregoire and Krismer rinks who are only a game off.It is fair to say that some teams have not played as many games as the leading teams, but even if they had they would not be in the running.
