Round one of the Wednesday Evening Ladder League concluded Wednesday evening, with the Shelley Ebbett rink winning the “A” Pool, and the Emily Sanderson rink taking the “B”. The Ebbett rink and the Kim Nicholson team were tied going into their final game, against each other, but Ebbett, and her team of Kim Pippy and Paulette Richard, helped out by Joe Callaghan who was sparing for Colleen Soltermann, were on their game this evening, and picked up the win. The Sanderson team were leading by a couple of games and had secured the B Pool top spot before tonight’s match. Other members of the team are Emma Coffin, Kaylee Stewart, and AnnaMaria MacDonald. The Ebbett team won $25 Cornwall Curling Club gift certificates, courtesy of sponsor Lowther’s Snow Removal, while the Sanderson squad won $20 gift certificates for Sam’s Cornwall Restaurant.

The pools for Round Two have now been determined, with the Rachel MacLean, Greg Groves, and Mark MacDonald rinks moving from A to B, and the Emily Sanderson, Rob Gallant, and Greg Robertson teams moving from B to A. MacDonald was tied with Josh McInnis at 4 losses each, but McInnis beat them 7-5 in their round one game and gets to stay in the A pool. We’ll post the full Round Two schedule as soon as we can.
