Parry Sound Curling Club Wrap-up from 2010-11:

Club Championship

Congratulations to our new Club Champions Brad Robinson, Stephen Webb, Oliver Moloney and Thomas McGown. Brad and Steve's Tuesday night team took the game in a well-crafted victory over Steve Holmes' Thursday men's team in the finals on Friday, April 8th.

Winners of the Second event were Dan Hill's Thursday night team of Mike Villeneuve, Les Hill, Paul Milligan

and skip Dale Bushey. They defeated Barry Medwid and his Thursday night team.

Winners of the third event were Wayne Ferguson, Sue Ferguson, Fred Loosemore and Pat Jarzembecki who defeated Ron Marshall's Thursday night team in a real nail-biter. Both skips made fantastic shots to end the game but Wayne's double raise take-out sealed the victory.

Fourth event winners were Scott Jennings, Trudy Orr, Randy Orr and Phyllis Harris who all played extremely

well and took the win over the Burgess team from Thursday night.

Thanks to Bob Gilman for taking more terrific pictures.

Mixed Doubles Bonspiel:

This is a very interesting way of curling mixed. With only 2 players, obviously you are missing your normal sweepers, so the thrower or the person holding the broom are the only available sweepers. The other unique thing about this match is that only 5 stones are actually thrown and 2 stones are placed (one on the button and the opposition stone placed guarding it out front).

The wining teams in this inaugural competition are:

Main Event - Debbie and John Iezzi

Second event - Sally and Jacob Labath

Consolation/third event - Nanci Beers and Ian Burgess

Jan. 21-22 - Georgian Bay Ladies' Open

Debbie Iezzi, Shelley Van Erp, Cec Barks and Amy Betts represented PSCC at the Provincials at the Stirling Curling Club Jan 21- 23. In the provincial competition they lost their first game to Marg McKnight of Uxbridge and then won their next 2 games in the B Event, They won their game Sunday morning in the semi-finals but lost in the finals to Amie Shackleton from Ilderton. Congratulations to Debbie and her team for doing so well at the Provincials.

Masters Zone 10:

Bob Fedosa, Lyle Fedosa, Al Bourgeois and Ray Pavlov represented PSCC in Bracebridge Jan 7 - 9th. After winning their first game, they lost their second game to the eventual B champion team from Barrie. They curled 4 more games losing in the B side semi final Sunday afternoon . Penetang skip Brunelle made a come-around draw shot to the edge of the four foot behind a wall of parry Sound rocks to take the win.

Bantam Curling Zone 10:

The Parry Sound Bantam Teams competed in Coldwater on Jan 7-9. For many of the curlers it was their first time competing in this kind of competitive event. Parry Sound sent two girls teams to the event. The two teams lost their first games and had to play each other in the second game, with the losing team being knocked out of the competition. Nicole Heikoop, Ashlyn Simpson, Allie Kane and Jenni Gill coached by Julie Truscott won 7-3 over Abbi Roose, Terri Weeks, Charlotte Little and Kortnee Jackson coached by Chris Weeks. Team Heikoop in their next game played Team MacDonald from Midland and the winner would advance to the Regional event. In the eighth end, team Heikoop scored 5 points to tie the game and force an extra end. Team Heikoop played a perfect 9th end; however team Mac Donald with last rock advantage won the game by an inch.

The boys team of Adam Walker, Liam Thompson, Tyler Marshall and Zack Vowels coached by Al Bourgeois and Stephen Webb lost both of their games; however gained valuable experience as they prepared for the Timbit Provincials.

Tankard and Scotties' Zone 10:

PSCC was well represented at the Tankard and Scott's Zone playoffs in Stroud on the weekend of Dec 10th. The Ladies team skipped by Julie Truscott with Joanne Gill, April Heitman and Marie Dunn played 2 games Saturday before being eliminated. Jacqueline Harrison of Elmvale and Sherry Middaugh of Coldwater went on to Regionals. The Men skipped by Darcy Weeks with Chris Weeks, Stephen Webb and Al Bourgeois also lost both their games. The eventual winners were Dale Matchett of Bradford and Cory Heggestad of Barrie.

OCA Senior Women and OCA Senior Men -

The Zone 10 playdown was held on Nov. 19-21st. We had 2 teams entered from our club for this competition. Both teams were successful in reaching the Regionals played in Orillia on Dec. 4th and 5th.

The Men's team, skipped by Al Bourgeois won the "A" side at Zones, defeating all of the teams that they played.

At the regionals in Orillia the men came up against some tough competition and lost their first two games.

The men's team is pictured here:

Ian Burgess (2nd), Dan Hill (3rd), Al Bourgeois, Glen Dadswell (Lead)

The Women's team, skipped by Nanci Beers went to the Regionals as the "B" side representatives for Zone 11. They had the opportunity to play the team that defeated them in their first match of the Zone 10 competition once again at the Regions but this time it was Nanci's team that came out victorious. Their second game was against Elaine Voisin (a previous Ontario champ) and in a hard fought game they once again won (by only a stolen point). Next game they played the former world champions (Anne Dunn) and some topnotch sweeping by Anne's team gave them the victory over Nanci's team. The last game (for the "B" side championship) was against the reigning Ontario champs and once again the Parry Sound girls met some very stiff competition and failed to advance to Provincials.

The women's team is pictured here: Nanci, Sandra Villeneuve (3rd), Louise Krause (2nd) and Bev Webb (Lead)
