After our first successful game we faced Hannah Fleming on Saturday morning, we didn't get off to a great start and Team Fleming played consistanty well throughout which didn't seem to also occur for us. The second half of the game brought some luck for us and we started to play some curling but our efforts weren't early enough. We lost 11-3 but this was a lesson to be learnt and we hoped to play better! To find the rest of the results go here; http://www.curl-greenacres.com/ga/index.php/red-section-d%20raw.html .
The next team we played was against Naomi's old team member Heather Morton, Team Smith got things together and we were 3 up after 2, things were going well. At the third Team Morton evened the score but we then held things together and stole a couple of ends this concluded the win. Both teams played well!
On a high spirits from our previous win our next game was against Rebecca Steven's. Things didn't start off great for us but after 4 ends the score was 3-2, some good shots and curling were played by both teams. Unfortunately the win wasn't for us and Steven's side bagged a win of 9-5 after stealing the 2 final ends.
After 3 games of curling my sweepers were tired, as was I and we all headed off to bed asap (excuse of the late blog update).
Sunday
The weekend flew by and suddenly we were at the final day, this was our last game against Jennifer Martin who was playing extremely well and hadn't lost a game in the section yet, it was a tough one! Sunday was our day and we knew for a chance to get to the semi's we needed the ends and the win, the first 4 ends went our way and we found ourselves playing great 5-0 up. The second half also went smoothly and we got the ends we needed, sadly we were hoping on winning/losses from other teams which isn't so handy! Jennifer played a cracking first shoot for her 2 in the sixth end but we ended the tournament on a great level.
The finals later in the day were played by Lauren Baxter V Jennifer Martin and in the boys section Kyle Smith V Bruce Mouat, and well done to the winners Team Smith and Team Baxter. Everyone played great and I know our team had a great weekend and hopefully our success will grow further in the next few competitions. Also thanks to Sarah Wood who played great for us, substituting for Louise Mansion. Next stop Kinross!
