Opening Bonspiel

Lots of summer rust was dusted off as the four teams led by Graeme, Sandy John G and Colin squared off against each other in the Opening Bonspiel.
New faces, Paula Arnott and Susan Stanton were making their presence known, on the ice and many players found themselves in unusual positions in their rinks.  This afforded them the novelty of getting to play different shots and to experience, in some cases, what a curling match looks like from the other end of the sheet.
Graeme v Sandy started off very positively for Sandy winning the first four ends and racing to a 6 - 0 lead.  At that point, maybe the summer excesses started getting to him, or Graeme remembered he was no longer on his motorbike but anyway the tide turned.  Graeme took all the remaining ends but alas still came up short with a 6 - 3 defeat.
Meanwhile.... John Good and his team of Roy Black, Paula Arnott and Colin Hood were in not in a compromising mood.  From what I witnessed, the only thing they made a mess of all night was the score card!  Before the conclusion of the game John's team reached the end of the new scoreboards and left the ice with a 12 - 0 win.
Congratulations to John, Roy, Paula and Colin H.
