Thanks for all the support

The Club Playdowns were great. It was nice to have all the support of Nutmeggers.

The level of competition was definitely better than last year. However, there were five and under teams there as well who were very good. Get together and form a team for next year. Especially on the Women's side. Nutmeg has good curlers because we have all received great instruction and support from the "experienced" members. It would be great to have a men's and women's team playing for Nutmeg next year.

There will be plenty of ways to follow the action from Utica, more on that later.

Live from Broomstones, it's Sunday night!

The was supposed to be over today. However, lots of tiebreakers so the Club National Playdowns have been extended an extra day. Team Hannon beat the top team (at the time) in their pool twice, including this Sunday morning. That put them in the Championship final as Charrissa said.

The other round robin pool was just decided and the winner is Team Faircloth from Potomac. Last year's champion. So a rematch is in the making for the Nutmeg team. Final goes off at 8:00am Monday morning. The "coach", Sally, will be in attendance and will update hopefully this blog or at least Twitter the results. You can go HERE to follow the tweets from twitter.

A few more emails to send and then off to bed for the big game.

bump in the road - Club Playdowns

Team Hannon had a little bump in the road this morning. A loss to Team Lesuk from Ardsley drop them to 3-1. They play the top team in the pool this afternoon at 4pm. A win will put them in a tiebreaker for first in the pool. A loss would be a tiebreaker game for second.

Naps are occuring right now for some of the team. Off to lunch soon then back to the club for the next game.

USCA Club Nationals

Another National championship that a Nutmeg team is trying to attend. Team Hannon with members Derek, Angelo and Joel will be in playing at Broomstones starting Thursday Jan. 22. Two teams of the 13 attending will advance after the playdowns to Utica for the Nationals.

The format is a split round robin with Team Hannon in a pool with 6 teams so they have 5 games to make the playoffs. Team Hannon starts play at 4pm on Thursday.

Hopefully Broomstones will be posting results on their website or you can keep up with us via Twitter here. I will also try to blog some of the results and play as the weekend progresses.
