There were some very interesting games this morning, creating a foursome that will play off in the B Qualifiers for the right to play on Monday. With some ice that was both fast and swingy this morning (curlers like that) we saw some different shots being made.
Sherry Middaugh and her team made quick work of the Bobbi Sauder rink from Edmonton scoring a deuce with their first two hammers and then taking control with a single point steal. This team exacted some revenge on Team Sauder who beat them in the first round!! Team Middaugh will face Team Flett, from Winnipeg who beat the young Calgary foursome of Megan Kirk.
Over on the other side of the B bracket Amber Holland started a new winning streak by beating Georgina Wheatcroft of B.C.. Amber will face Crystal Webster's Alberta team who made off like a bunch of theives stealing a point in the 7th to tie, managing to force an extra end after Chinese Skip Bingyu Wang hit and rolled out and then managing to steal a point in the extra end when Wang was tight on her last shot.
I wanted to ensure we mentioned that Kyla MacLachlan was this year's winner of the prestigious Ray Kingsmith Award. The purpose of the Ray Kingsmith Memorial Award is to recognize an individual woman for her outstanding contributions to women's curling. The key fact to note is that Kyla is only 30 years old and has already made such an unbelievable contribution to our sport. We wish Kyla and her team well in their quest to represent Canada at the 2010 Olympic Games.
Turkey is on!! See you at the club.
