2017 Rona Opening Spiel Winners - Wally MacDonald, Janet Gallivan, Kathy Gale and Lonnie Howe


Spiel Wrap-up

​The Stephen's Rona Opening Spiel was held at the club from October 30 to November 5 with a break in curling on Halloween. A total of twelve teams took part in the first curling event of the season, six teams on the Monday/Thursday/Saturday division and six in the Wednesday/Friday/Saturday division. This was the first spiel that was handled by the newly appointed Bonspiel Committee and they did a great job as was evident by the competitive games and the close finish at the end by a number of teams. The Wally MacDonald rink took top spot in the event with a total of thirty points but only three and a half points separated teams that finished second through seventh, many of the spots being decided by plus minus and some where a very slim margin. Keith MacEachern took the runner up spot with 27.5 points and Stephen Leslie came third with 27. Joining Wally in the champions spot was Lonnie Howe, Kathy Gale and Janet Gallivan. Keith had Kevin Gouthro, Julia Cormier and Georgette Sparkes with him in second and Stephen Leslie was joined by Mike Cormier, Lynn Kelly and Chris Webb. Cal Thistle and Richard Lorway finished tied with 26 points but Thistle edged his way into fourth spot with a +5 while Lorway only had a +3 to earn fifth place honors. Cal was joined by Barb Thistle, Bryant Cormier and Marg Kingsbury while Richard had Cheryl MacKinnon, Todd MacAulay and Steve Jurcina aiding him. Thank you to everyone who took part, especially those joining us for the first time. Four of those curlers, Kevin Gouthro, Marg Kingsbury, Maureen Smith and Bob Smith, have all joined us as members for the season. A big thank you to the newly formed Bonspiel Committee who did a great job with their inaugural event. Thanks to the bartenders, the ice crew, the housekeeping committee and to everyone else who helped to make this first event of the 2017-18 season a big success. A special thank you to Frances Ford and Lynn Kelly for the delicious soup they each made on Saturday. Lastly, thank you to our sponsor, Stephen's Rona, for their continuing support of this event and of the Schooner Club. Without the support of community minded businesses who support our club, we would not be able to thrive as we do. ​
