115th Gordon International
The GNCC is heading to Quebec to battle for the Gordon International Medal which marks its 115th anniversary this year. This event pits 20 American teams (2 games per team) and 40 Canadian teams (one game per team) against each other for the coveted Gordon Medal. It is hosted every other year in Canada and the USA with it being held at various clubs in the Montreal area this year. The outcome of the match is determined by the total number of stones scored by each side in the two Gordon medal games. In the 115 prior competitions, the Canadians have won 88 matches, the Americans 27. USA won this event when it was last held in Canada so we are hoping for a repeat performance!
SCC will be represented by five man team Doc Holmblad, Fred Mackintosh, Phil Falconer, Dave Longbreak and Dan Navratil. Good luck to Team Holmblad and to the USA!
Golden Handle Bonspiel
Good luck to Team Burgess as they head to the Golden Handle Open bonspiel being held this weekend at the Nutmeg Curling Club. Shirley Burgess will lead her team of Mark Zielinski, Lynn Zielinski, and Ed Hoostowski (Norfolk). The theme is "Fifty Shade of Grey...Ice". We are glad they threw the word "ice" in there because we weren't really sure what kind of event our team was heading into!
