Badminton Tournament a bit at
On Thursday, March 9, GI)CI
held its annual Stephen Sturdy
Memorial Badminton Tourna-
ment. This is the first
Maitland
curling report
Fifteen weeks of curling
wasn't enough to determine a
regular season champion in
the Monday/Tuesday curling
league at the Maitland.
Team Corrigan, who had
the league lead for most of
the season, suffered a 12-5
defeat at the hands of Vicki
Culbert and the 'The Rock-
ers' which left them both
tied for first place with Team
Glen who beat Marc Mon-
forton's 'Team #5' 12-6.
This required a tie=breaker
to be activated which
dropped Corrigan to third
place by virtue of his losses
to the other two.
Glen and Culbert, both
having beaten Corrigan,
played to a tie in their match
earlier in the year. So the tie
was broken by considering
their point differential across
the whole season with Glenn
coming out on top and earn-
ing top seed for next week's
play-offs.
The standings are not quite
final further down the table
because there is one make-up
game to be played. Greg Balina
and 'The Replaceables' were
10-6 winners over Jeff John-
ston. However with one game
to make up, they could still fin-
ish anywhere from fifth to
seventh.
Joe George beat the 'Red -
blacks' 12-9 in a game that saw
him blow a six point lead only
to score four in the final end to
claim eighth place and the last
spot on the 'A' side of the play-
offs. The loss relegated the
'RedBlacks' and 'Western
Hawks' to the 'B' side after the
'Hawks' also lost 9-7 to Judy
McLean.
In games that didn't have
quite as dramatic an effect on
the standings, Team Brown
beat Team Murdock 8-3, 'Ginn
on the Rocks' beat 'The House
Managers' 10-2 and 'Hurry
Harrrd!' beat 'Granite Bottoms'
5-4..
