Schedule and results (last updated: 21 Oct. 2011)

We have our first winners in the 2011-2012 season. In the Opening Bonspiel “A’ final Jim Putnam’s team and Tony Marquis’ team exchanged the lead back and forth. Tony’s rink was leading 3-0 after two ends, Jim tied it at 3-3 in the 3rd and then went ahead 7-3 after 5 ends. Tony’s rink tied it up at 7-7 after 7 ends and it came down to Tony’s last rock in the 8-th end before the winner was decided. With his last yellow rock Tony tried an angle raise but his shot was just a hair wide and Jim didn’t have to throw his hammer rock.

The shot that Tony Marquis had to make to win the “A” final.

The “A” final winning team: Lance Hodgson (sparing for Sue Conway), David Hatch, Tony Duboyce and Jim Putnam .

In the “B” final between Mike Normandeau and Bill Driver, the game was close for the first four ends with the score tied 3-3 but Bill’s rink scored three in the 5th and added another point in the 7th for a 7-4 lead coming home and after a few rocks were thrown in the 8th end the two teams shook hands.

The “B” final winning team: Madeline Carmichael, Joanne Ross, Jim Tisdall and Bill Driver.

The Ham and Turkey Bonspiel. Duration: Dec. 5 - 9, 2011.

Action on the ice

Here is an example of the kind of shot-making that helped Bob Hart and his team win the Ham and Turkey “A” final.

In the 6th end and the score tied 2-2, Bob’s team already had four blue rocks counting. His opponent, Wayne Morin, on his last rock made a great angle raise of a yellow stone that was two feet outside the rings to be shot stone behind three guards. However, with his hammer shot, Bob made a perfect angle raised takeout to score three. In the 7th end, Wayne made a great double takeout through a narrow port and scored two points to make it 5-4. Then, in the 8th end, his team appeared ready to steal one point to force an extra end but Bob made a perfect hit-and-stick with his hammer shot and won the game.
