It was, however, a great experience for the boys. As the local team consisted of three Bantam curlers, Kyle Forster, Matthew Hallahan and Matthew Cottrill, the boys were up against curlers older and more experienced yet they put up great efforts and we are mighty proud of them. You’ll hear more from these fine curlers at their next competition, the Bantam zone playdowns when they will be against opposition in the same age bracket. Don’t be surprised if you find these fine young curlers representing the club in the bantam district playdowns soon. We are all pulling for you boys in the Bantam zone playdowns. *** The Junior ladies’ team from Exeter with Kayla Bishop as lead certainly made their presence felt at the playdowns at Forest. The girls came up with two big wins but fell short of advancing to the provincials. It was a great experience for Kayla Bishop and we are mighty proud of this very keen young curler. Well done, Kayla! *** The daytime curlers Christmas dinner will be held on Thursday, Dec. 13.
