The Creston Curling Centre’s junior curling program had another successful year and it was all capped off on Feb. 14 with a “funspiel” consisting of three four-end games.
The day gave the juniors a chance to put their newly learned skills on display for their family and coaches. They started in November, learning basic skills and drills, and got the chance to put it all together during the one-day event.
Two teams ended up tying for first place, and two tied for second. In first were Vincent Walker, Raya Terrill, Nic Brauer and Taelyn Austin, coached by Greg Terrill, and Catherine Walker, Isaiah Persad, Brynn Mailhot and Kate Page, coached by Kelly and Dale Moberg.
The second-place teams were Abi Evans, Meredith Walker, Noah Eastman and Rasmus Knudson, coached by Cathy Robinson, and Alyssa Eastman, Morgan Schmalz, Ryan Neufeld and Hayden Persad, coached by Doug Hannah.
The junior program will resume on Nov. 17 and any kids looking to learn a great winter sport are encouraged to come out and give it a try.
