Skips and Stones
– By Bruce Skinn
Last weekend the Wingham Golf
and Curling Club hosted the
Belgrave Mixed Bonspiel.
Organizers Linda Meier and John
Nixon again did a superb job putting
together a great prize table and the
curlers supplied some good curling
and lots of fun and laughs.
Winners of the first draw was a
Waterloo team made up of Troy and
Sandra (Moffatt) Schmidt and Paul
and Rita Ross. Fred Meier skipped
his team to win the second draw
with wife Linda and John and Joyce
Thompson. The club would like to
thank Leota King and Marg Moffatt
for their super volunteer help.
In regular league action the
Monday daytime curlers closed out
February with Wendall Stamper,
Bruce Robertson, Norm Fairles, Bob
Foxton, Barry Simpson and Hugh
Clugston picking up wins. Monday
night Archie McKean and Matt
Cottrill helped curl their teams to
victory.
The Tuesday ladies league
winning skips were Terri Forster,
Sandra Morrison and Emily Elston.
Tuesday night’s competitive league
had Calvin Ruttan. Jim Ross and
Shawn Cottrill skip their teams to
wins. The Wednesday night teams
picking up wins were Karen Burke,
Rob Middleton and Robert Grein.
Thursday daytime winners were
Nelson Frank, Ron McMichael,
Wendell Stamper, Bruce Robertson,
Bob Foxton and Barry Simpson.
Thursday Belgrave teams going
home with wins were Larry
Robinson, Fred Meier, John Nixon
and Tom Coultes. Friday night
Barry Simpson picked up his third
win of the week with Brian Potter
and Bill McDonald also coming out
on top.
On Saturday, March 12 the club is
hosting the Country mixed
Bonspiel. Anyone who needs a
break from the Brier is
welcome to come out and watch the
action.

Tough loss

but came out on the short end of a 5-0 score. (Vicky Bremner photo)
The Saugeen Maitland Midget AA
Lightning battled back to eliminate
the Waterloo Ravens in Lower Lakes
League semi-final action last
weekend.
On Friday, the Lightning fell 4-3
to the hometown Ravens after tying
the opening game the previous
weekend. The win gave
Waterloo a two-point
advantage going into Sunday’s
crucial match.
In the deciding game, it was the
Lightning who came out flying and
jumped to a 1-0 lead on a nice shot
from the slot by Laken Smith. The
Lightning put the game away with a
nifty deflection goal by Dollee
Meigs on a shot from captain Gina
Murray. The game ended 2-0 for the
Bolts.
With both teams sitting at three
points each, they were required to
play a sudden-death five-minute
extra period to decide who would
advance to the Southwest Division
final.
In the overtime it was strong
forechecking by the line of Smith,
Laura Irwin and Dollee Meigs that
gave the Lightning the chance to end
the series and it was Smith who was
the hero when she banged home a
rebound a minute into the extra
period.
Leading the way on the scoresheet
with five points was Smith while
Irwin and Meigs had a four-point
weekend. Also picking up assists
were Gina Murray (two), Georgia
Ottewell and Brittany Butcher.
Stephanie Sluys had the shutout in
the deciding game.
The Lightning will now meet the
Bluewater Hawks in the division
final.
On Feb. 26, the Brussels Tyke
Bulls hosted Wallace. It was a one-
sided game for the Bulls, but
Wallace was able to sneak two goals
by Lucas Jacklin in the 8-2 win.
Goals were scored by Christopher
Pennington, Luke Fritz, Jackson
McDonald Inglis, Mathew McKee
and Bennett Smith with assists by
Kyle Stevenson, Joel Nesbitt, Brett
McCutcheon and Tyson Fischer.
On Feb. 19, the Brussels Tykes
were in Bayfield to play a team that
had not lost a game all season.
The Bulls gave the BCH Ice Dogs
a run for their money and were
strong at both ends with Pennington
playing flawlessly in net, but he let
eight pucks slide by, but BCH did
the same so the game ended with a
tie. Everyone played well.
