Published by Wawanesa & Area Lioness Club Ellis Seeds Open Bonspiel

claiming victory in the eighth end.

Saturday evening, the Lion’s Club

hosted a casino in the rink. It was very fun

and enjoyed by all who attended. The Texas

The rings are quiet now, but on the

weekend of February 22nd to 24th they were

anything but quiet. The Curling Clubs of

Wawanesa hosted an Open Bonspiel that was

sponsored by Ellis Seeds.14 teams came out

to battle for either an A side or B side cham-

pion. Congratulations to Brett Hargreaves,

Karis Malyon, Haylee Hargreaves and Mark

Malyon, who won the A side. The B side

champions were Donovan Hamilton, Jeremy

Cory, Dylan Smith and Tanner Riddle.

The B Side final was an exciting match

between Donovan’s rink and his Dad’s (Chris

Hamilton) rink. At the end of the eighth it

was a tied game. It was down to a draw to the

button. Chris was up first. His rock was a lit-

tle past the button. Donovan threw his rock

and it drew onto the button. It was exciting to

watch and Donovan will have bragging rights

until next year’s bonspiel.

The A side final was between Brett

Hargreave’s rink and Katie Gullett’s rink.

There were some great matches to get to the

final, and this match did not disappoint. The

two teams battled hard with Brett’s rink

Brett Hargreaves, Karis Malyon, Haylee Hargreaves and Mark Malyon, winners of the A side.

through the last days of the life of Jesus; to re-

flect on the different events that led to His

death and crucifixion. All this, to lead us to a

greater anticipation and make great of, the Res-

urrection of Jesus.
