A Tam U15 team participated in the Youth Fun Spiel at the Peterborough Curling Club January 13th.
The original team consisted of John-Paul Zoratto (skip), Ethan Olson (vice), Marnie Bates (second), and Aerilyn Papp (lead). Because Ethan was unable to play at the last moment, the Peterborough club provided a spare. Our U15 team ended up playing a U18 team in their first game and then a U15 team in their second game. They lost the first game but won the second, gaining valuable competitive experience in the process. Most of all, they had a great time at the tournament!
One of the interesting things at this fun spiel was the use of a count-down-clock. Every team had 110 minutes to play either 8 ends (U18 and U15) or 6 ends (U12). Only ends completed in this time were counted for points! Many thanks to the team for representing Tam and congratulations on a well-played bonspiel! (Photos courtesy of Debbie Oosting.)
