ssessment team wins
BY GEORGE SUTTON
An excellent season of
curling came to an end in
exciting fashion Thursday
night as both championships
were decided on the last rocks
of the year.
The winner of the Signal,
Star "Group A" Trophy wars
the impressive Assessmeht
Team which led the league all
season and was certainly the
favourite to win the playoffs.
The winners were Ken
Fagan, Jim Bell,, Greg
Hanson and Skip Dennis
Lebrun.
In the first draw, they
defeated a fine Teacher No. 2
Team which was just unable
to get rolling. The4inal score
of 9 to 3 was not indicative of
the game as Sandy Braid, Sue.,
Ritchie, Doug Bundy and Skip
Bev Lindsay fought defiantly
to extend their season to one
more game, but were ,just
unable to match their ...op-
ponent's determination.
In the championship, the
Assessment Team met their
arch rival the DRMCo Plant
Team. The DRMCo. team
consisted of Tom Profit,
Charlie •Crawford, Glen
Falkiner and Skip Jack
Kellough. This group had
previously handed the
Assessment men two of their
three defeats and desperately
wanted just one more upset.
Victoria and Grey were the
first ro nd victims of the
DRMCotrew losing a tough 5
- 4 contest. The V & G con-
tingent of Sue Mackenzie,
Steve Willard, Tom Love and
Hugh Doggett were unable to
equal the excellent takeout
game of the DRMCo men and
ended a fine season on a
disappointing note.
The championship game
was everything the spec-
tators expected as these two
skilled teams battled it out.
DRMCo. ' Vice -skip Glen
Falkiner and Assessment's
Greg Hanson were both
outstanding but in the final
game it must be a four man
effort and , it was in both
cases. The Assessment Team
jumped to an early lead on
two great shots by Dennis
Lebrun but the DRMCo men
fought back to within one
point. DRMCo skip Jack
Kellogh put his last shot of the
season inside the four foot
and waited. On his final shot
of the season, Dennis Lebrun
was as cool as anytime during
the year as he deftly
eliminated Kellough's rock
and won the championship 5
to 4.
In the "B Group", a sur -
cha
prising Teacher Nor 3 team
captured the Trans Canada
Credit Trophy with two ex-
cellent and exciting victories.
The teacher team was
composed of Diane Cloet, Del
Almeida, Diane Verhoef, Skip
George Sutton and spare
Donna Doidge. In their first
match the teachers defeated
last year's "B'' winners, the
DRMCo Office team by the
scdre of 9 to 4. The DRMCo
men played well but missed a
few early shots by inches
allowing the educators a
chance to .build a lead. The
DRMCo' team of-, Frank
Young, Gord Crabb, Bill
Hayward and Jim Bolan
should be commended for
their sportsmanship as well
as their skill.
The teacher's opponents in
the final was a surprise to
many people but it shouldn't
have been. The Kinsmen Club
had defeated the second and
first place teams in their
previous two games and
added another upset victory
to their tally by dumping a
"surprised" Financial Team
in the first round.
The Kinsmen represen-
tatives were Mike Michon,
Arnie Parker, ,Ray Cook,
John Schneiker and their
persistent skip Dave Cloet.
The game was a wild one with
each team making mistakes
which they corrected with
brilliant shots the next time.
The, final outcome was in
doubt right to the end but the
Financial team of Craig and
Caroline Cass plus Penny and
Larry McGrath had their
victory repossessed by the
consistently fine curling, of
the Kinsmen team.
Inthe final encounter of the
season for the championship
trophies both the Kinsmen
and the Teaehers forgot about
their mediocre seasons and
curled like Ursel and Kamp -
well almost. It was a strange
and wild game that produced
two three enders for the
Kinsmen and a four and five
ender for the Teachers. •It was
the five ender in the fourth
that was , the key. The
Teachers received .superb
curling and sweeping from
their front two of Diane Cloet
and Del Almeida and some
clutch shots from their vice
skip Donna Doidge and Skip
George Sutton. The Kinsmen
team almost made the
comeback of the season with,
a beautiful three ender in the
sixth to tie the game. As in the
"A division" the final out-
come of the match rested on
the last shot of the skip.
Kinsmen skip Dave Cloet
needed to hit and stay to tie.
the game and send it into an
extra end. Cloet hr
out Leaving four
points for the teach-
won a hard fought
victory.
