Season opens with defeat

Game 1: Curloneout 3 - 7 Mcleary

The team ready for action at the season opener

Team curl one out have started the season with a devastating defeat, the team went down 7-3 to Lee McLeary in Fridays 3pm draw. In the first end they gave up a soft 2 and from then on were always chasing the game. Going down the 8^th end curl one out trailed Mcleary 6-3 but the opposing 2^nd player and new father Gavin Fleming decided to make things interesting by flashing twice in the same end to leave the pre tournament favourites lying 3 in a good position. Some slack stone positioning and shot calling nearly put pay to any chance of a big end but a nose hit by Mcleary left Godzilla Gracie a difficult triple to win or tie the game. Gracie surprisingly came close to lifting all 3 but unfortunately gave up the single to loose the game 7-3.

Speaking after the game Gracie said “It was real hard trying to get things going out there, we’ve had to draft in our nutritional expert at lead and that was probably the difference today. Looking at the stats young Ellie Hamilton out shot Scott 88% to 46% so you’re always going to struggle."

The team would like to thank Lorna Vevers for stepping in and playing a solid game at short notice to help the guys out after our injury problems.
