Tough loss
The Brussels Atom Bulls were in action over the weekend
as part of the annual Wingham Atom Silver Stick
tournament, taking on Durham in Wingham. The Bulls,
however, came up short in this contest, losing by a score
of 7-2.
Curling leagues are up and
running at the Wingham Golf and
Curling Club. The first busy month
of the season has gone by quickly
and with holidays and other
commitments I am a few weeks
behind in my reporting.
The month of December got off to
a good start with the club hosting the
senior men’s and women’s
Dominion Ontario Zone
Championship Bonspiel. Former
Canadian and world champion
Marilyn Biddough of St. Catharines
curled her team to the A
championship with Ruth
Alexander’s team out of London
also advancing to the Ontario
playdowns. The men’s side saw
Robert Stafford’s team out of
Chatham win the A side and Hugh
Widdup claimed the B side.
On Monday, Dec. 6, winners of
the daytime curlers were team Glenn
McMichael, Bill Tolton, John Mann,
Irving Elliott, Bob Johnston and
Barry Simpson. The Monday night
men’s league saw Bill McDonald
and John Mann curl their teams to
wins. The snow won the battle on
Tuesday night with curling being
cancelled. The Wednesday mixed
league winners were Karen Burke,
Wayne Horton and Robert Grein.
The Thursday daytime curlers
picking up victories were Wendell
Stamper, Les Shawn, Bill Tolton,
Bob Johnston, Stewart Leedham and
Barry Simpson. Thursday night
family league had the Amy Miller,
Kabrina Bishop, Mike Cottrill and
Matt Cottrill teams come out on top
and the Belgrave group winners
were Murray Shiell, Fred Meier,
Tim Coultes and Larry Johnston.
The Friday night curlers closed
the week with Lynn Hickey and
Wayne Horton skipping their teams
to wins.
On Saturday, Dec. 11 the
Wingham Golf and Curling Club
was pleased to hold the wedding
reception meal for Leah Brak and
Norm Bradley. The bride and groom
and family and friends enjoyed the
afternoon in the dining lounge.

Skips and Stones
– By Bruce Skinn
The Saugeen Maitland AA
Lightning hosted the Brantford Ice
Cats in Lower Lakes League play
and needed to score a late third-
period goal to squeak out a 2-2 tie.
The Lightning opened the scoring
in the first period on a nice three-
way passing play with Brittany
Butcher and Laken Smith setting up
Laura Irwin for the goal.
Brantford responded with two
second-period goals to take the lead
at the break.
Although Saugeen had outshot
Brantford 29-10, they
found themselves down 2-1
with a minute to go in the
game.
With the goalie pulled, Saugeen’s
Gina Murray fired a shot from the
point with Butcher standing in the
slot who managed to
deflect the tying goal and resulting
in a 2-2 tie.
