Competitive League week 3

Week 3 in the league sees three teams without a loss so far. They are team Surka, Mannick and Hannon. Team J. Smith follows closely with just one loss. Team J. Smith plays team Hannon next week in a big match.

In action last night for the first time was new experienced curler Cindy Pick, late of Ontario. Cindy moved down here for work as a nurse at Yale. She was happy to find Nutmeg and was recruited heavily for several committees at the post game table. She has little rocker coaching experience as well as entertainment experience at bonspiels. President Jennifer will have a new member of the Golden Handle chorus it looks like.

Team Bagley was looking sharp against team Hannon but couldn't find the range on a couple of draws that would have made the difference. Robert Kwan seems to be figuring out the ice at Nutmeg and looked impressive on the neighboring sheet. Opponents for that game was team Ryan and vice Rob Chebetar was making a lot of doubles to bail out his team from trouble. Team Surka played the early game against team T. Smith so not much to report from that game. In the late game, team J. Smith ran away early from team Hirx. Skip Dave reported after the game that a missed draw in the third was the difference as there was a 5 point swing on the scoreboard. It was a closer game than the scoreboard showed.
