Seaforth curlers wind up season The last week of regular curling has rolled around and winners in all divisions will be decided by next Mondh.y when the final night of men's curling brings the season to a close. Play-off,games will then be on the agenda for mixed and men's divisions. The competition curling has provided some great games all season for those taking the game more seriously than others. A double knock -out playdown held over the past few weeks has now produced an overall winner. Congratulations to the team skipped by Bob Ste. Marie; Gord Pryce, vice; Neil Dolmage, second and Gerry Hetherington, lead, who received the Wilmer G. Broadfoot Memorial Trophy for their efforts. A tie for top place in the ladies' section between the team of Roxanne Brown, Milena Lobb, Mary Jean Beattie and Lenore Cummings and that of Sheila Murray, Sharon Wilson, Gloria Riley and Kay Campbell leaves the winner of the Counter Trophy as yet undecided. The team skipped by Carol Innes placed third. The hopes of Seaforth curlers continuing in competition for the Silver Tankard were dashed on Sunday at Owen Sound. The teams played their counter -parts in Division 13A, two teams from Tara, and were eliminated in a single knock -out game. Team members were Gerry Walter, Bob Wilson, Don Tremeer and Doug Rowcliffe as one four- some, and Bob Ste. Marie, Bill Robertson, Neil Dolmage and Paul Storey as the other. Let's wish them better luck next year! Three local curlers, Bill Campbell Jr., Gord Pryce and John Pat- terson Jr., with Dennis LeBrun of Goderich making up the foursome, enjoyed the hospitality of our nation's capital last week when they attended the City of Ottawa Men's Bonspiel. They enjoyed five days of competition playing a total of seven games, and no doubt, are looking forward to more of the same next year. Also on the bonspiel circuit last week were four ladies who found the arena ice at Milverton quite the challenge. Fathers and sons win All that ice time spent flooding, scraping and pebbling paid- off for Mery Falconer and Alex Townsend as they along with sons Brian and David won the first draw in the Royal Bank Bon - spiel at the Vanastra Curling Club last Saturday. Second place was taken by the rink of Morley Taylor from Camlachie. Third place was won by a rink skipped by John Patterson of Seaforth with Cliff Parker, Ray Hutchinson and Percy Brown. Consolation in the first draw was won by the Vanastra rink of George Cantelon, Ivan Lince, Ken Rogerson and Fred Zwaan. In the second draw Cam Bogie from Goderich with Ron Klages, Roger Moore and Phil Turner took top money. In second place was the rink of Ron Sellars with Bill Munroe, Ian Kennedy and Jim Ross from the Vanastra Curling Club. Another Vanastra rink, John Brownridge, Des Cassidy, Ward Hodgins and Jack McLachlan were 'third, ,with con- solation going to the friendly farmers with Ross McBeath, Gerald °Ra•thwell, Hugh Hen- dricks and Stu Wilson. Everyone reported a good time although some were a little late getting home.
