The Yorkton Curling Club (YCC) hosted the annual Knights of Columbus Saskatchewan State Curling Bonspiel over the weekend.
Hosted by the Yorkton Council 2031, the event saw 24 rinks entered, including eight from Yorkton and 16 other centres in the province, reports event coordinator Brian Exner.
Exner says numbers of curlers appear to be dropping province wide. "We need to focus on family involvement with children becoming a part of the event to make it a success," he suggests.
A event winners was the Exner rink of skip Brian Exner, third Andrew Exner, second Terry Exner, lead Clark Crow.
The B event was claimed by the Kreklewich foursome of skip Larry Kreklewich, third Earl Molnar, second Al Pacholka and lead Tim Beres.
The Daley team of skip Pat Daley, third Denise Hunter-Roth, second Louis Roth and lead Alice Daley emerged as C event winners.
Skip Pay Daley says the facilities were great. The fraternity was great. The hospitality was wonderful. Curling was a lot of fun.
The D event went to the Stadnyk rink of skip Irwin Stadnyk, third John Prokopchuk, second Kim Prokopchuk, and lead Herman Syroishka.
Stadnyk praised the Yorkton Council for a great job hosting the bonspiel. It was a great weekend, great banquet and great curling. "We'll be back," he promises.
