The first game of the New Horizon curling Tuesday started off with Doreen Dudek's team trading deuces with Ed Kjargaard. Then the game got nasty and Ed's team scored a big four. The girls were not to be outdone and they got a three in the second last end that tied the game. They kept the pressure on so that Ed had nothing but a draw to the button for a win in the final end.
They were not big ends, but when you steal you can't be greedy. So it was for Bryan Peever over Lyle Darwent. It was a nice draw by Lyle to keep the game close and then in the next end we saw it even. Then it was the Darwent rink scoring two and that was enough when coming home.
What happened on sheet one also happened on sheet three, but this time it was Big Bad Belyk who racked up the four. That was bad but stealing five on the next end put a nail in the coffin of the Allie Raycraft four and they never had a chance for the balance of the game.
Allan Rogers is off to a bad year and was down by five before he got on the board and Eugene Korpach's rink kept the lead from then on.
In the afternoon draw you knew the game was getting serious when they brought out the measuring stick in the second end. That gave the extra point to the Gregoire rink over Ralph Hall and they went one up. He did not stop there and went on by scoring a couple of threes. Hall came back with four but that was not enough.
Doug Puff started out with one but then he gave up eleven before he scored another against the Rod Forester group. Guess who won?
On sheet five it was six to five after the seventh end with Horrell one down coming home. He had last rock in eight but could not get the yellow rock out and Bruce Chadwick came out smiling.
His last rock on the final end was a tad short and Ed Kjargaard had to settle for a tie on the second game he played that day. Six feet more and he would have sent the Krismer rink home without a point.
