Saints win the Bronze Medal at the prestigious Peter Russell Memorial

Well the Saints nearly came marching in but a tricky breeze and a bowl or two flopping the wrong way changed the day.

We started up against a strong Asquith team all called Mark and skipped by Mark “Boof” Devern. A very even game saw us down 13-8 and not looking good on the long ends as Boof was converting everything. So we went to short to the middle and won the next 4 ends then dropped a 1. It was now the 17th end Saints are down 14-13. Jimmy was having a good day and drew some great shoots. We hit the 18th and dropped a four with Scarey just missing a conversion to 1 up by hitting the outside of the shot down and sliding through. 18-13 down and three ends to play. But the Saints weren’t finished scoring a 2 on the next end back to short ends and another 2 to be 18-16 down going into the last. A great draw each from Pete and Jimmy got us a 2 and it was extra end time.

Saints won the toss and kept the mat went short to the middle and were holding 1 when the Asquith third “Consey” trailed the jack for a 3. Scarey drew positively but scrapped of the side of the shot bowl with no result. Boof draw a metre short. Scarey again tries the positive draw only to be hit by the breeze and cutting the head. Game over and into the bronze playoff.

A few cold ones and some sandwiches and we were off to play Manly. Saints jumped out to a 19-2 lead after 5 ends and the rest was history. We all played very well and converted strongly on te next rink Belrose played Asquith for the gold and a strong Belrose team of Steve Lowe, John Ventamen, James Brown and Doc Smith won the day 23-17.

Thanks again to my teammates Rocket Rod Silber, Pistol Pete Shlager and Jimmy “Midgey” Barclay. Great to play with you and maybe we go one better next year.
