The first round is complete in the Wednesday evening Ladder League, with the Bill Hope rink winning the “A” Pool, sponsored by Lowther’s Snow Removal, with a 6-1 win-loss record, and the Greg Groves team taking the “B” Pool, sponsored by Sam’s Cornwall Restaurant, also recording a half dozen wins and only one loss. Other members of Team Hope are Peter Murdoch, David Murphy, and Craig Mackie, while Donald Weeks, Marjorie Matthews, and Ken Monaghan round out the Groves rink. 

Three other teams are “safe” and remain in the “A” Pool with Hope for Round Two: the Ray Biagé and Rachel MacLean teams, at 5-2, and the Paul Neima foursome at 4-3. The Emily Sanderson, Kelly Watts, and Greg Robertson teams will be descending the ladder to the B Pool. 

Climbing the ladder to the “A” pool with Groves will be the Rob Gallant and Gord Peters rinks, who both had 5-2 records.

The B Pool will have the 6:30 draw on Dec. 20 as they had the late draw the previous week. There is no draw on Dec. 27 (between Christmas and New Year’s).

It has now been confirmed that there WILL be a draw on January 3rd. The Scotties and Tankard draws are not starting until the next day – there is a banquet for the curlers on Wednesday evening, so our draw is a go.
