The 2021 CC Computer Solutions Sweetheart Spiel Champs - Team Young

Skip - Marie Young
Mate - Joan Latimer
Second - Cynthia Boutilier (missing from Photo)
Lead -
Diane Penney


The CC Computer Solutions Sweetheart Spiel took place on February 12 and 13 at the club and was another huge success. Eight teams of women curlers took to the ice to try to win the Sweetheart title and, after all the rocks were thrown and the points tallied, it was a rink out of the Sydney Curling Club that came out on top. The 2021 Sweetheart champs are the Marie Young rink that, along with skip Marie, was made up of Joan Latimer, Cynthia Boutilier and Diane Penney. The Sydney foursome got off to a good start on Friday with a win and followed that up on Saturday with two more, taking eleven of a possible fifteen points in each of their three games. Second place was taken by the Schooner team skipped by Lynn Kelly. Joining Lynn was former Schooner member Laura Rafuse and current Schooner members Bernadette Cormier and Georgette Sparkes. Kelly's team also got off to a fast start on Friday with a win but a tie in their second game limited their points and even a second victory in their final match wasn't enough to catch Young. Close behind in third place was another rink out of the Schooner Club, this one skipped by Carrie Cress. Cress also had two wins sandwiched around a second game tie and finished just short of team Kelly's total. Skip Carrie was joined by Samantha Livingstone, Julia Cormier and Helen Joyce.
Along with some great curling on Friday, curlers and guests were treated to a wine and cheese with the wine being supplied by Russell Fitzgerald and Martin Campbell. Both have been involved with the Sweetheart spiel since its inception and have been contributing to this opening night tradition for just as long. This year was a bit different than previous years given the Covid concerns and restrictions. Instead of a 'serve yourself' style as in previous years, this time there were some pre-packaged portions of cheese, fruit, deli meats, dips and crackers that everyone could enjoy. Wine was served by Russell and Martin. Overall, it was a big success and enjoyed by all that were there. Another change in this season's Sweetheart was in the meal that curlers would enjoy on Saturday after curling was done. In past years it was always a hot meal served to the ladies but this year we opted to have pizza instead. The meal was funded by donations from Schooner's male members as it has been in the past. There were also a variety of squares and cookies for dessert, again all packaged individually for safety.
Lynn Kelly, who has been organizing and running the spiel for a number of years along with a team of volunteers, had a lot of extra work this year, packaging all the food and making sure everyone was staying safe and following the club's Covid protocols. Overall, everyone was very accommodating and this went just as well as in previous years. A big thank you goes out to Lynn and all of the hard working volunteers who helped out in organizing and running another successful event.
A big thank you goes out as well to returning sponsor CC Computer Solutions Inc. The local Sydney Business has been sponsoring the event for the last few years and we appreciate their support.
Given the additional challenges that were facing the 2021 edition of the Sweetheart Spiel it turned out to be one of the most successful events we have had. Thank you to all who took part and we hope to see everyone back for next year's event. Hopefully things are more back to normal by then as well.
