After an exciting game five overtime win against Seaforth, the team just couldn’t get untracked in the small Harriston arena. Wingham again played catch up for most of the game, but couldn’t grab the lead, with Minto breaking a 3-3 tie with just over three minutes left in the game and adding one more a minute later. Wade Stephenson scored two for Wingham with Graham Ashcroft adding the other. Assists went to Andrew Baker with two, Chase Chapman, Maitland Underwood and Greg Tiffin with one each. Game two in the series was to have been played on Sunday, Feb. 4, but was cancelled due to weather.

In Monday action John Nixon defeated Bruce Robertson 9-5 and Barry Simpson was a 9-6 winner over Stewart Leedham. *** In the Tuesday ladies, six-end action, Ainslie Weishar recorded a 6-4 win over Sandra Morrison and Marg Moffat defeated Betty Ross also by a score of 6-4. Jennie Hagervorst was victor over Jill Eadie by a very one-sided 8-1 count. The Bishop girls met head on with Keisha winning “Bishop bragging rights” with a 7-1 win over sister Kayla. *** In the Tuesday competitive league Don Edgar racked up a 9-4 win over Aart DeVos. Shawn Cottrill recorded a 7-3 win over Calvin Ruttan. The other two games went down to the button with Earl Fitch a 7-6 winner over Russ Taylor 6 and Rob Middleton defeating Bill DeVos 6-5. *** In the Wednesday mixed league there were two games with identical scores as Dean Newson was an 8-4 winner over Steve Burke and Tammy Adams was an 8-4 win over Wayne Horton. Earl Fitch had the button in his sights as he recorded a big 10-4 win over Aart DeVos. John Dailleboust string of wins has disappeared as he went down to his fourth straight defeat as Leanne Elston was the 9- 7 winner. *** In Thursday mixed curling action Doug Miller recorded an 8-1 win over Kevin Bishop while son Elliott Miller ended up in the low side of a 10-4 score in a match with Cam Alton. In the other game Kayla Bishop showed no mercy as she racked her way to a 15-2 win over Mike Cottrill. *** In the Belgrave Thursday night curling action there were certainly no close games this week . Results were: John Nixon 10, Murray Shiell 3; Fred Meier 11 , Niel Edgar 6; Jim Ross 10, Murray McNichol 4. It looks like the handicap spy is still right on the button as Don Shiells continues on his winning ways with a 9-2 win over Lloyd Michie. *** In Friday night action Lynn Hickey edged Barry Simpson 6-5 and Simon Logtenberg beat Hugh Clugston 9-6. In the other game there were lots of rocks in the house as Wayne Waechter was an 11-9 winner over Shawn Cottrill. *** In Monday daytime action the results were: Mac Inglis 7 , Nelson Frank 5; John Mann 9, Bill Deans 4; Ross Peacock 12, Stewart Leedham 6 and Les Shaw 8, Norm Fairles 5. In afternoon play it was Ivan Dow over Bruce Robertson 7-5 and Irvin Elliott defeating Wendell Stamper 9-6. Jim Coultes racked up another big victory defeating Ron McMichael 13-2. *** In the Thursday daytime league the ink had hardly dried on the question of who was going to hand Ross Peacock’s team their first loss, when the answer came. Ivan Dow handed Ross a real trouncing as nothing went right for Ross and the final score read Ivan Dow 11, Ross Peacock 2. In other games Irving Elliott was a 13-5 winner over Nelson Frank and John Mann downed Jim Coultes 9-2. In the other game it ws a battle for the first (win that is) between Wendell Stamper and Ron McMichael. It went down to the last rock with Wendell getting the 8-5 victory. In afternoon action there were three one-sided games: Norma Fairles 11, Bruce Robertson 6; Mac Inglis 13, Les Shaw 2 and Bill Deans almost going off the board with a 16-4 victory over Stewart Leedham. *** Feb. 10 and 11 is the popular Sweetheart Bonspeil with curling, dinner and dance Saturday and Sunday Brunch. On Feb. 13-14 it’s the Huron High Schools Curling Championships with boys and girls teams from Clinton, Goderich, Exeter and Wingham. *** Just a thought - in leagues with teams getting a bye why not have the team with the bye having a game of Double Scotch, a game which is gaining popularity on the curling scene. Why not give it a try? Rules appear on the bulletin boards upstairs and down at the club. Rock Talk – By Bill Johnston
