Pensioners Curling Notes

To Zone Playdowns

By John Dalziel

Things: were more or less back to normal with the Pen- sioners last week with a full schedule of games being -played. The race for the wire sort of tightened up as the Dalziel rink was 50-50 on the week's play.

Some of the lower rinks came through in good style, also, and all this makes for a

“ more.interesting schedule?

Next week there will be no regular club games played as two, or possibly even three, rinks will be in Nelson playing in the West Kootenay Zone playdowns of the .Over-60 Seniors.

Those taking part for sure are Peter Murphy. Curtis Waterman, Cecil Bradford, Ossie Jones, John Dalziel, Ross

Oborne, Bill Waldie and George Wi d 2

might even be a good chance to play some matches with the afternoon ladies, That was a lot of fun last season,

Last week's results were: Tuesday—Everard over Water- man, Murphy over Bradford, Bate over Lipsett and LeRoy over Woytella.

Wednesday morning it was :

Dalziel over Mills, Waterman over Woytella, LeRoy over Everard and Lipsett over Wil- son; in the afterncon—Verzuh over Lyons and Bradford over Wadey. y

Thursday saw Murphy over Dalziel, Lyons over Bate, Wilson over Wadey and Verzuh over Mills.

I had a little chat on the phone with young Billy Van- Yzerloo just after the boys got back from Prince Rupert: They didn’t do so well on the ice, only winning one of their games, but Billy was saying they gave some of the winners a run for their money.

‘ Their last game was against Powell River, who finished on top and will repre- sent B.C. in the Dominion Finals. This game came right down to the last rock and, had the Castlegar skip not been a shade strong and rolled out, the boys could have won the game.

, Off the ice the boys had a wonderful time, as the hospi- tality was the best. I am sure the experience will have done them a lot of good and they will “bea rink to be reckoned with in the future.

See you on the ice.
