The second of three rounds, sponsored by Wendy’s and Belvedere Golf Club, wrapped up last week in the Wednesday Evening Ladder League, with the first round’s “B” Pool winners the Greg Robertson rink moving up the ladder and capturing the “A” Pool with five wins, the last of which was as the result of an exciting draw to the button tiebreaker (they hit the button!) against the Legion of Broom squad, captained by Josh McInnis.

Meanwhile, the Firefighters team, bolstered by two new players late in the first round, were “on fire” in the “B” pool, winning ALL SEVEN of their games, and moving up the ladder to the “A” pool for the final round, which will now be a full round of seven weeks thanks to a recently-announced season extension.

Four teams, skipped by Aleya Quilty, Mark MacDonald, Brayden Snow and Joe Callaghan had four wins and are also safe in the A pool, with the Paul Neima rink with 3 wins, the Josh McInnis foursome with two, and the Clara Jack squad with one, dropping down to the “B” Pool.
Moving on up to the A Pool, besides the Firefighters, will be the team skipped by President Chris MacDougall, with five wins, and the Rob Gallant rink, with four.
