Royal Kingston Curling Club

Congratulations to Team Machold who became the A Event Finalists at this weekend's 60th Annual Fisherman’s Bonspiel at the Royal Kingston Curling Club in Kingston, ON. This event boasted 48 teams and Team Machold swept through all their matches to land in the A Finals. Dan Machold led his crew of Mike Stefanik, Brian Damon and Charlie Brown to the A Finals and came up just short in that game.

Team Machold won their first match Thursday night in just 4 ends! They followed this up with what was initially a very close game...until they stole 2 in the 6th and 5 in the 7th. Next up they won again in another tight match until they stole one in the 7th to go up by 3. They then continued their winning streak by winning by one after coming home tied with hammer. That brought them to the A event semi’s which they won handily in only 4 ends.

Great job gentlemen and a good way to end the season!

On March 30th 2013, SCC turned curling upside down with its annual Krakow Bonspiel! Congratulations to Teams Brooks and Team Lancaster for picking up the "Gold" and the "Silver" medals in this fun event. Tim Brooks led his team of Carol Munro, Lisa Filkins and Dave Genevich to a 67 point high score to capture the gold medal while Tom Lancaster led his rink of Paula Lancaster, Kirk Wallace and Becky Trousil to a score of 64 points to get the silver. Last but not least, Bette Sovik and her team of Marty Zavadil, Cynthia Walton-Leavitt and Nancy Gaines came up with the last place number of points (39) but scored big by winning a ring of Kielbasa! Team Austin also won a special prize for winning the trivia quiz...way to go smarties!

Here is how all the rinks made out:

67 points: Tim Brooks, Carol Munro, Lisa Filkins, Dave Genevich
64 points: Tom Lancaster, Paula Lancaster, Kirk Wallace, Becky Trousil
63 points: Brad Austin, Linda Austin, Rob Klees, Dan Muller
61 points: Pat Fitzgerald, Sue Streeter, Jeff Mayott, Yuko Kashiwado
58 points: Dave Longbreak, Chad Stoffer, Jenn Wood, Laura Dolins
53 points: Jim Holmblad, Phil Falconer, Shirley Burgess, Christina Hall
42 points: Dorothy Szymaszek, Mike Luft, John Ioia, April Katz
39 points: Bette Sovik, Marty Zavadil, Cynthia Walton-Leavitt, Nancy Gaines

So how does it work? You get points for having stones in the house (1 each) but you get 5 points for having your rocks the furthest from the button (biters are a wonderful thing). Also if you take an opponent's stone out...you lose a point and your rock! So..normal curling rules do NOT apply! A fun time was had by all and thank you to Jim and Charlotte Colton for putting on this great end of season event and most of all for the wonderful themed lunch after! Yum!

Congratulations to Team Stefanik (also called Team Stefanski) in winning this year's Cherry Blossom Bonspiel!

Congratulations to Team Stopera for being the B Event Finalists also at the Cherry Blossom. Jack Stopera led his team of Nancy Wurth, Bill Niedrach (Bucks County), Sue Niedrach (Buck’s County) into the B Finals versus Team Robinson and came up just short.
