It is often the case for the Super Bowl that a terrific playoff season ends with a disappointingly lopsided game at the end. In three of the four finals decided on April Fool's Day that happened but the drama and shot -making of the fourth game certainly made up for it. In the 'A' division of the Wednesday/Thursday league semis Charlie Craw- ford and his Port Albert 'Ice Cubes' team of Quaid Craw- ford, Ron Durnin and Ray Natuik scored one in the 8th and stole another in the extra end to edge Myles Mur- dock and his team that includes Peter Feagan, Caro- lyn Brown and Sandy Mabon 8-7. In the other semi Team. Brown got down 3 - 0 early to the team of Roger Moore, Don Lindsay, Phil Foster and Paula Krol but dominated the rest of the game to win 7 - 5. In the final Brown made two terrific tap backs to score two in the first end when it seemed as if Craw- ford had the end in hand. Crawford responded with one in the second but Brown then shut the door the rest of the game to cruise to an 8 - 1 win making champions of himself, James Hickling, Kate Nicholson and Karen Kan filling in for Greg Tiesma. In the 'B' division Bob Corrigan, recently back from a southern sojourn, was terrific as his team which includes his wife Jane as well as Brenda Parker and Doug Yeo routed the team of Donna Adams 8 - 1. In the other semi, The `IceBergs' team of Simon, Jan, Agnes and Ken Logtenberg lost 8 - 5 to Cathy Murdock, Vicki Cul- bert, Joan Hutton and Liz Wilson in a game that was close to the end. In another lopsided final Parker scored on in the first but Culbert came back with four in the second and from then on nothing went right for the 'Parker Gang' as Culbert scored a decisive 10 - 1 win. In the '13' division of the Monday/Tuesday league semis two teams showed their dominance early and often as they easily qualified for the final. Mike Dawson and his team which includes son Grant, Amy Ditner and Karen Kan, subbing for Bob Budd, were down 3 - 0 early but stormed back with the next 10 points for a 10 - 3 win. In the other semi Lau- rie Ginn led her team of DougYeo, Bert Dirven and Wendy Chase to a decisive 11 - 3 win over Team Natuik. The final saw a close game broken open in the 5th end with Team Dawson stealing three on their way to a comfortable 7 - 1 win over Ginn despite playing a man short the entire game.. The 'A' division of the Monday/Tuesday league saw two teams get there in dramatically different fashions. Marc Monforton and his team of Jeff Sowerby, Barb and Steve Graff jumped out to a 5 - 0 lead in the semi- final match with Team McLean and breezed into the final on the wings oj,a convincing 10 - 3 victory. The other semi-final looked like it was going to be similar as skip Vicki Culbert and her team of Brenda Parker, Cathy Mur- dock and Donna Adams built a 5 - 1 lead after five ends. The game turned in an instant in the 6th end as Adam Glenn scored a big Iillt F 4111MIMU 4 4 I N 4 five ender to dramatically take the lead. Culbert managed to tie the game with one in the 7th leaving Glenn with the desir- able position of having last rock in the final end. A great draw by Parker fol- lowed by two excellent Cul- bert guards left Glenn with a very difficult raise take-out with his final shot. The shot racked on a guard leaving Team Culbert with a well deserved 9 - 6 win. This final was the best one of the day and in an interesting twist it fol- lowed a similar script to the Culbert semi only in reverse. In this one Culbert took the early 4 - 1 lead with four in the 2nd only to see Mon- forton respond with four of his own in the 3rd. Culbert responded with one in the 4th and a steal of two in the 5th. It looked like Culbert would steal three more in the 6th but a terrific hit and roll to the button to score one averted disaster for Monforton. Monforton then stole three of his own in the 7th to go up 9 - 7 heading home. Culbert however scored a clean two in the 8th to send the game to an extra end. In the extra the two skips traded great shots with their first but Culbert just rubbed a guard with her final shot leaving the Monforton stone on the button and giving Team Monforton a well deserved championship. At .the banquet that followed the day's curling the four champions were presented with handsome championship plaques made and donated by Bert Dirven.
