An Annandale Curling Club team was one of the eight competing for an Ontario Junior Mixed curling Championship last weekend.

Josh Hall teamed up with Spencer Anderson, James McPherson, Yvonne Lalonde, and coach Donna Hall at the Marmora and Area Curling Club and ended the round-robin playdown tied for first place with four other teams, all at 4-3 records.

Tie breakers were necessary, and the Annandale team was sidelined in a semifinal by the defending champion Christian Tolusso rink from the Ottawa area.

A rare event occurred on Thurs. March 26 during the Mixed Curling League with an eight-ender scored by Barry Moylan, sparing for Brian Moffatt and with Peter and Sian McLean. They will each get an eight-ender pin from the OCA, and an eight-ender pin and a certificate from the CCA.

It is tough to end any competition in first place, but Bill Buffey is pleased to advise that his team won the A division in the Thursday Night Mixed League which finished March 26. Bill teamed up with Gail Chambers, George Flint and Sharon Ridge. They will get their names added to the League trophy.

The Competitive Men's League finished the regular season last week and is now into playdowns within each division. Each team is guaranteed two games and there is cash to be won. The final games are scheduled for Tues. April 14, which also will be the league closing night with food and drink.

Annandale Curling Club will again be hosting the OCA Silver Tankard Ontario finals Sunday. All eight sheets will be in use, and an official timer is needed on each sheet. There is no charge to drop in and view the curling.
