The final weekend of the Junior Interclub event pitted friends and fellow club curlers against one another. Tam Heather 1 (Kitcher- Abigail, Lucas, Cayleigh and Charlotte) and Tam Heather 2 (Zoratto - John-Paul, Owen, Aerilyn and Ethan) competed in the second group on Saturday, March 28 at the Dixie Curling Club. It was Abigail Kitcher who skipped her team to a come from behind win in the first draw of the day. These same two teams battled it out again at lunch playing some new and popular board games such as “Poetry for Neanderthals and Incoherent Family”! At the end of the day, the two teams placed a respectable 6th and 7th in the 16 team field with East York Curling Club winning the Interclub Team Championships this season.
We are very fortunate to have had the opportunity to compete in Interclub this year as the former coordinators stepped down. Thanks to Adrienne Cunningham who stepped up as the main coordinator for this season. It was an amazing event and offered such an incredible experience for our youth curlers. For all the parents, it was very entertaining and was a pleasure to watch our kids grow and develop as people and competitors in the exciting sport of curling!
Thanks to Andi, Patrick and all the coaches who prepared our kids for these events and who developed their curling skills during the winter months. It was amazing to see how much they have improved over the years!
