Brussels Tykes
in tournament
The curling season at Wingham
Curling Club is starting to wind
down with most leagues on their
last round of action as the ice
machines are turned off at the end
of March.
*4.*
In Tuesday night ladies' league
there were some close scores: Jenn
Elston 6, Marg Moffat 4; Debbie
Gammie 4, Kayla Bishop 2 and
Amy Miller 6, Joyce Vincent 5.
***
In the Tuesday competitive
league for the regular season Earl
Fitch, with 14 wins and four losses,
ended in top spot. Calvin Ruttan
was right on his heels with 13 wins
and five losses.
Aart DeVos ended in third, with
Bill DeVos fourth, Don Edgar, fifth
and three teams Rob Middleton,
Rus Taylor and Shawn Cottrill all
tied for sixth with identical records
six wins, 12 losses.

***

***

Tim Coultes downed Dave
Johnston 10-7. Other results were:
Todd Edgar 10, Kevin Scott 3; Jim
Scott 9, Bryon Coultes 4 and Larry
Robinson 12, Mike Metske 6.
***
With the arrival of stick curling
has come a new game called Scotch
Doubles which is catching on in
many clubs.
Scotch doubles on ice is a four-
person curling game with no
sweeping allowed except behind
the T-line. No one has to worry
about keeping up to a take-out
shot.
It is a shorter game taking only
an hour to play, with only six rocks
per team and six ends per game.
Each team is made up of two
curlers — each person skips one end
and leads in the alternate end. The
advantage is that there's no need to
walk down the ice in the middle of
an end and risk slipping.
It is proving very popular as two
couples or a foursome can play a
quick game in an hour. An added
plus is no sweeping.
Who will be the first to try this
new game at our local club?
***
In the daytime league on Monday
all teams must have had their eye
on top spot as the games were oh so
close. Bill Deans edged Glenn
McMichael 9-8. John Mann
enjoyed an extra end win over Les
Shaw. Other results were: Ron
McMichael 8, Alex Nethery 5; S.
Leedham 7, Irving Elliott 3; W.
Stamper 11, N. Frank 4 and Jim
Coultes downing Bruce Robertson
7-6 after an eighth-end
measurement that was close. Jim's
rock got the nod.
In Thursday night play it was A.
Nethery 8, Bill Deans 3; W.
Stamper 11, L. Shaw 5; B.
Robertson 9, Ivan Dow 8; J. Mann
11, J. Coultes 6; R. McMichael 10,
N. Frank 5 and G. McMichael 10,
Elliott 7.
Brussels Tykes travelled to
Hensal! for the year-end playoff
tournament.
Brussels' first game was against
Blyth, in what proved to be an
intense contest.
Brussels scored first off the stick
of Nic Zwep.
Blyth came back to even the score.
Logan Kellington put Brussels back
in the lead but with one minute
remaining-Blyth tied it up.
The time clock ran out and five-
minutes overtime was set. No goals
were scored so a shootout was
started. Zwep scored, then Blyth
scored. Blyth tried against to get one
past goalie Dawson Peachy, then
Delayna Smith had a mighty shot to
win the game.
Brussels went on to play Seaforth
and lost 6-0. Tiffany Deitner played
great in net.
The team went on to the B finals
