Old man winter with blowing
snow wiped out all curling action at
the Wingham Curling Club last
Monday.
The Belgrave league, Thursday
night curling has been hit hard
missing four consecutive nights of
curling due to severe weather
conditions.
***
In the ladies’ Tuesday night
league two games ended with the
same score as Debbie Gammie
defeated Marg Moffat 10-6 and
Mary Henry won by the same score
over Sandra Morrison. Ann
Crawford was an 8-2 winner over
Cathy Donnelly and Amy Miller
was in top form defeating Kayla
Bishop 12-2.
***
In the Tuesday competitive
league the DeVos brothers
continued to win as Aart defeated
Earl Fitch 9-1 and brother Bill
edged Shawn Cottrill 6-5. Russ
Taylor was a 9-6 winner over Don
Edgar and Rob Middleton had good
rock control with an 11-4 over
Calvin Ruttan.
***
In the Wednesday mixed league it
was the last night of the regular
schedule with the playoffs to start
next week Steve Burke was a 9-5
winner over Leanne Elston and
Aart DeVos was a 9-3 winner over
Wayne Horton. In a close one
Tammy Adams defeated Earl Fitch
9-8 and Dean Newson defeated
John Dailleboust.
It certainly was a battle to the end
for the regular season schedule and
oh so close with Dean Newson on
top with 11 wins. Tied for second
were Steve Burke and Aart DeVos
with 10 wins.
Then in a three-way tie for the
next spot were Earl Fitch, Leanne
Elston and John Dailleboust all
with nine wins followed by Tammy
Adams with eight wins and Wayne
Horton in the cellar with six
wins.
It is certainly a well-balanced
league when you consider only two
wins between the top team and
sixth spot.
Now the teams start the playoffs
which should certainly be very
competitive.
***
In Friday night action all games
were rather one-sided as Bill
McDonald was a 15-5 winner over
Lynn Hickey, Shawn Cottrill won
12-8 over W. Waechter and Barry
Simpson was a 14-5 winner over
Hugh Clugston.
***
The Belgrave league held its
mixed bonspiel on March 3. In the
Huron Bay Co-op draw the winners
were the Dow rink with Ivan Dow
as skip along with his nieces

Steven. In the Howson and Howson
Limited draw the winning rink was
Fred and Linda Meier and Brenda
and Dave Linton.
***
In the daytime league in
Thursday morning action it was
Norm Fairles 9, Lloyd Wheeler 2.
Stewart Leedham continued his
winning ways with an 8-2 victory
over Glenn McMichael. The Bruce
Robertson rink scored a big 10-3
win over Mac Inglis. A key shot by
Ann Crawford in the eighth end
resulted in a 9-7 win over Ivan
Dow.
In afternoon action there were
lots of rocks on the rings as
Wendell Stamper defeated Irving
Elliott 10-9, Les Shaw scored a 9-7
win over Ron McMichael and
Nelson Frank, back as skip after a
southern cruise, edged Jim Coultes
9-7.
