Summerland Curling Club
Results: Feb. 4 to 8.
The BCIMCA 70+ master men’s Zone 3 curling playdowns were held at the Summerland Curling Club Feb. 5 to 7 with skip Dale Abrey third rob Robinson, second Lorne Schwindt and lead John Blashko advancing to play in the Provincials in Nanaimo March 5 to 8.
A total of six teams entered, with three from Summerland. They were Stan Green, Warren Parker and Hector Cartier. There was one Osoyoos team and two from Kelowna.
The Stan Green team from Summerland played off in the final game of A side and Abrey from B side. It was a very close game, tied up coming home, the Green team with hammer. There were a lot of Summerland spectators to cheer on the Green team.
Having last shot in the eighth end, the odds were in Green’s favour but his last shot was a difficult one as the Abrey team did a good job of cluttering up the front of the house.
Thanks to everyone for coming out, and the best of luck to the Abrey team in Nanaimo.
