Congratulations to 2 on 2 Spiel Winners
Brian Laughlin and Leo Fraser
The Schooner Club held another 2 on 2 spiel in March, this one being played on the 26 and 27 and, this time, it was a single entry format and teams were made from those curlers who signed up to play. There were a total of sixteen players making up eight teams in the event and they played three games, earning points for wins and ties as well as every end they won. Rules were once again the traditional hybrid doubles rules that the Schooner Club normally uses for these events, allowing a more level playing field for stick and slide curlers to compete together.
Play got underway on Friday evening with all eight teams seeing their first action in one of two draws that night. Saturday, play continued, starting at 11am, and on this day, each team would play two more games before points would be tallied and a winner decided.
Three teams began to stand out after the first two games, each of them winning their first two and garnering 11 of the available 15 points. Two of those teams would meet in their final match, a good chance the winner would take home at least a top two finish. Brian Laughlin and Leo Fraser would meet Eric MacLeod and Lynn Kelly in the second to last draw of the day, each having 22 points at that time but with Laughlin/Fraser holding a slight advantage in plus/minus. Laughlin and Fraser won the game, winning a total of 11 of a possible 15 points and were now in first place. The only team in the final draw with an chance to overtake them was the father/daughter duo of Benito Delorenzo and Brittani Fernandez. They would face Gary Landry and Janet Gallivan who had a record of one win and one loss thus far. Landry and Gallivan won that matchup and took home eleven more points to add to their total, good enough for second spot overall. Delorenzo and Fernandez finished third, edging out MacLeod/Kelly by plus/minus and forcing them into fourth spot while Laughlin and Fraser took home first place, the only team to go through the event undefeated. Congratulations to our winners.
A big thank you goes out to all who took part and to everyone who pitched in and helped in organizing and running the event. The doubles or 2 on 2 game is very popular at the club and we are sure we will see more of it played in the seasons to come.
