Back from the Great White North were it was still snowing when we left today. A great time was had by all and the Saturday steak dinner was typically wonderful.
Team Haggis with Terry Smith, Star Childs (Norfolk), Jason Sethi and Jeremy Vanderhouton (both Potomac) lost out in the third event on Saturday. They won their first game with Terry absent due to jury duty, then lost the second to NY Caledonian who went to the first event final. Then a loss on Saturday afternoon freed them up to enjoy dinner and a evening of watching curling.
Team Hannon with Jeff, Rob Reihl, Alan Alward and Dave Hirx lost the first two to also hit the third event. A well played third game got them to the semi final on Saturday night as the evening entertainment. A very well played game on both side saw neither team score more than one per end. Team Hannon stole the sixth to take a two point lead into seven and held the Norfolk team to one. Up one with the hammer coming home all looked good until the last skip rock overcurled just a bit and Norfolk stole two for the win.
A great men's spiel with wonderful food and fun for all. Very competitive curling this year as seven of the sixteen teams are part of the GNCC Men's Curling Tour.
Norfolk also host a very nice mixed bonspiel in February. Get a team together and take the short drive up RT 8 to play.
