This year’s Closing Bonspiel, Chaired by our own Sheriff Maureen Campbell and her AMAZING band of Volunteer Deputies, opened and closed out with a bang! Duels were held throughout the week, as teams challenged one another through a series of 3-4 games. At the stroke of 6:50 pm, Tuesday night, thirty-six teams began their ride onto the ice at YCC, where over successive nights, they dueled it on the slippery landscape and later in the lounge with “games a plenty!”. The draws were fast, and the shots were heard far and wide! But fate has a role to play, and in the end, with thirty-three teams put to the side, three teams stood tall; the A, B and C winners!
Leading the way by winning the “A Event” was our very own Draw Master, John Morrison, and his supporting cast of champions Pam Holik, Lynne Jamieson and Melissa Kauffeldt.
In second place was “Lefty Lemon”, as Lloyd Lemon and his cast of shot makers Karen Cole, John Hall and Judy Walker captured the “B Event”.
And finally, bringing up the rear, and showing he’s still got it was none of other than “Mr. I can’t get enough curling”, Harry Carter and his cast shots and guards led by Greg Klein, Jill Renshaw and Karen Gowdy, as they captured the “C Event”.
A hearty York Curling Club congratulations to all the WINNERS, and to all who participated. This year’s Wild West was truly a classic, and one that we will remember for year to come.
See y’all next year!!
Yea ha, when the shooters were on the ice, local showdowns were held in the lounge, as Deputies Peter and Wendy drew down the names, one pull at a time. With “hefty” rewards on the line, each draw of the ticket was done “slooowwwllly!” In the end, with Tim’s cards and booze cards daggled in front of them, three amigos held tight for the BIG reward payouts. In the end “quick draw, Andrew Fuller” took the top prize of $150, followed closely by Gary “I almost won” Miller who took second prize of $100 and finally “Lefty Lloyd Lemon” once again, as he sandbagged the $50 third place prize.
A BIG ‘ole thank you to all who participated, and to our Deputies Peter and Wendy!
Check out photos from the Night of Champions
As usual Night of Champions at York was a busy and successful evening! The lounge was full of spectators and the games were great. Trophies were presented to the winners. There was another, special presentation that evening as well. A banner was presented on behalf of the Toronto Curling Association to John Morrison, Karen Morrison, Peter Ellis and Paulette Ellis for their win at the TCA Senior Mixed Competition this past season.
We would also like to congratulate and wish luck to our Travelers representatives this coming fall. York will be represented by Bryan Johnston, Dan Cleutinx, Sean Spencer and Bob Hevey in the men’s competition and by Laurie Shields, Lisa Rolfe, Samantha Fuller and Trina Sweezie in the women’s competition!
