Nifty curling win at Nifty Fifty

Every year since 1968, the Nifty Fifty Ladies Bonspiel has been held in BC. This year, a Salmon Arm team won the A event.

It was a fun and successful time for two Salmon Arm rinks at the 47th Nifty Fifty Ladies Bonspiel held this year in Quesnel, March 18 to 20.

The ultimate bonspiel winners are determined by a combination of total games won, total scores and total ends won. Salmon Arm sent two rinks:

1. Geneva McLean, Hellen Bryon, Lester McInally and Brenda M’Clellan.

2. Trish Probyn, Lisa Schwartzenhauer, Kathy Carpenter and Elenor Bishop.

McLean with her team of M’Clellan (3rd), McInally (2nd) and Byron (lead) won the 2014 A event. They won five games and lost one. No team won all six games. The team received the Nifty Fifty winner’s crest, their name on the perpetual trophy, a gift from the Quesnel Curling Club and a cash prize.
