4-HRolling Stones
hold achievement day
The Wawanosh 4-H Rolling
Stones Club's achievement day was
held on Monday, March 27
at the Wingham Golf and Curling
Club.
Once everyone arrived, the
club and guests divided into four
teams.
The leaders then took two teams
and they played each other — the
same with the other two teams.
After the two -end games, the
winners played each other as did the
losers.
Once the games were done, the
club members and guests had a
snack provided by Lauren and
Megan Todd.
Special thanks to the Wingham
Golf and Curling Club for helping
the 4-H members and allowing them
to use the ice.

Peewee LL team wins WOAA
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
The Blyth Brussels Crusaders
PeeWee Local League squad posted
an impressive record this year,
ending the season with a 13-2 record
and the Western Ontario Athletics
Association Division Championship.
The team ended the season on a
five -game winning -streak and then
ended the post -season with a 13-2
record.
"It was a pretty great end to the
season," coach Jamie Nicholson said.
The squad had a bit of a setback
when they managed two ties and a
loss in Young Canada Week in
Goderich in March, but came out
swinging when they started their
final series against the Walkerton
Capitals.
The squad finished its season on
March 29. The team earned a 2-1
victory over the Walkerton Capitals
to end their best -of -three series 2-1
after losing to the Capitals 3-2 on
the road in game two and besting
them 5-4 in Brussels on March 20 in
the first game of the series.
While the season ended well,
Nicholson said that it took some
time before the team started to really
play well together.
The team had posted many ties
and losses from the season start in
September until late November
when the squad went 2-2 at a
PeeWee Local League tournament
in Langton.
"When the season started, things
didn't look positive," Nicholson
said. "After that tournament, the
team started to gel better. We won
the 'B' Division there and things
rolled on."
Nicholson said the entire team
played well together after that
tournament and the coaches were
very impressed with how the year
played out.
