Big win
While it had no bearing on the team's drive for provincial greatness, the Midget 'C' girls were
able to earn a win against the Kent County Fillies on home ice on March 20. The girls team
was able to earn a 6-1 win to give them some momentum for the yet -to -be scheduled

Club hosts bonspiel

Getting in the spirit
The Brussels Curling Club held its last bonspiel of the year
earlier this month and curlers were donning their Easter
and St. Patrick's Day best to get in the spirit. Above Mary
Bernard lets fly with her shot during the games earlier in the
day. (Denny Scott photo)
The Brussels Curling Club ended
the year with a Bonspiel on March
12. They had a full slate of 20 teams
for the day's play. The morning draw
of 10 teams included teams from
Brussels, St. Catharines, Vanastra
and Goderich and area. The first
place team for the draw was skipped
by the youngest player on the ice,
Jack Pipe, a great young and
upcoming curler at 16. He had some
seasoned players on his team and
had three good games. Second place
went to Ernie Lewington and third
Rick McDonald's team. Fourth was
Mark Bancroft, fifth. Janet McLean;
sixth, Stacey Culbert; seventh, Kriss
Snell; eighth, Jennie Schimanski;
ninth, Matthew Cardiff and 10th,
Debbie Coultes. Lots of good games
and fun for all.
The second draw was also full
with 10 teams hoping to be winners.
They came from Brussels, Seaforth,
Mitchell, Listowel and area. The
winner of the draw was an
experienced team from Seaforth
with Jack McLachlan as skip;
second, Steve Steiss; third, Brad
Knight; fourth, Les Cudmore; fifth,
Darrell Uhler; sixth, Jeff Wolfe;
seventh, Don Osborne; eighth, Steve
Knight; ninth, Doug Green and 10th,
Jake Henderson. Again a great bunch
of curlers and everyone had a great
time.
They enjoyed a great roast pork
dinner at noon and a soup and
sandwich supper before prizes were
awarded. The theme of St. Patty's
Day was celebrated with lots of
"wearing of the green" by teams. It
was a wonderful way to end the
curling season in Brussels.
