The Bob Fowler rink won the fourth and final round, sponsored by Clyde River Golf Course, of the A pool of the Wednesday Night Ladder League, winning all their games in the round. The Paul Neima rink were second, losing only to Bob’s team, by a 9-4 score on the final night. Both teams will receive prizes on May 11.
Three teams, skipped by Aaron Campbell, Ray Biagé, and Greg Groves, had three wins in the B pool, but Groves and Biagé had one more point, as the Campbell rink did not play one of their games. The Groves and Biagé rinks met on the last night, with Groves coming out on top of a very closely fought 9-8 battle, so they will win the round and the final prize.
It was also brought to my attention that I had the incorrect winner for round 3. I reported, incorrectly, that Karen Currie had beaten Gord Peters in their A pool encounter on Feb 8. I rechecked the result, and that was not the case – it was actually a 9-3 win for Peters, who will win the round (sorry Karen!), beating both second place teams, Currie and Bob MacWilliams, in their games.
Here is the complete winners list for the year (Team rosters as they were on the board. If they are not correct, let us know).
The winners of the A and B pools for each round, as well as the A pool runner-up in the final round, will receive prizes from our generous sponsors during our May 11 Annual General Meeting and Awards Night.
