We sent a team to our first out of town bonspiel in over a year. Dion Warr, Dave Longbrake, Dave Dial, and Rob Maynard competed in the Pittsburgh Curling Club (Official) Tropicurl Summerspiel this weekend. Their new dedicated club opened in February of 2020 and is a great facility.
Team Warr finished in 2nd place in their pool with a 2 wins and 1 loss. They played teams from St. Paul, MN, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo, NY. They loss to a strong team in the B event quarterfinals from the Columbus, OH and Detroit, MI clubs and were eliminated.
Pittsburgh did a wonderful job hosting and provided plentiful and delicious food all weekend. The ice speed was good and there was lots of curl, which made for fun games.
The team is very proud of how they played after such a long time off. Some of their shotmaking was already in mid-season form.
