Last weekend, Tim March of Annandale won the A side of the Mixed Zone Playdown in Oshawa with Julie Weagle, Patrick Jenssen and Debra Bently, and now advances to the Regional Playdown slated for Whitby Curling Club March 7-8. This event leads to the one that starts the new curling season off with a chance for a national championship for the provincial winner. The Regional will send two teams to Beaverton in April, and the winner there will wait out their chance to represent Ontario November 15-22 at the Burlington Golf&Country Club.
