Some of the New Horizons curlers spend part of the winter down south or so it seems, because on March 4 there were six subs playing.The snowbirds will have to hurry back as there are only two more scheduled games to play in thishalf of the season.
Peter Pauls takes the game seriously, because, after taking two in the second end, he blanked the third to stay tied with the last rock against Al Rogers.The result was that Pauls did count one in the fourth.Allan scored three in the fifth to go two up.But that was not for long as the Pauls four were ahead by three playing in the eighth. That was enough for the win.
The Scott rink takes one, gives up two and comes back with threeto double up the Munn team after playing four ends.For the longest time, it looked like Scott was the top dog. But three in the seventh put Munn only one down.In the eighth Alexander Scott's first rock came to rest on the back side of the button. Dick Munn came down to rest on it for his next shot.The final rock of the end was fast and narrow. The game ended in a 7-7 tie.
Rod Forester was not there, but his team took a couple in the third to show that he wasn't missed. Bob Krismer then came back and made a perfect draw to count three all in the inner circle. However, the Forester four went on to score the next three ends and ended up the winner.
The Peever rink, minus the skip, were leading 6-2 against Hall.Here is another case where the head honcho was not really missed.Peever went on to score in five of the first six ends.
The Kjargaard group counted in each of the first three ends, but then gave upthree to Dick Horrell in the fourth and led only by one.When they played the sixth end, there were 12 rocks in the house when Kjargaard came to throw his final yellowrock. He hit the red one, but it jammed to leave Dick to lead by one. Kjargaard scored two in the seventh and another two in the home end for a decisive win.
Was it a gift of three in the second end or was Doug Belyk missing? After four, it was all tied when playing Eugene Korpach.The match was tied after six,but Belyk scored three in the seventh and came home smiling.
