EOSSAA Curling Playdowns at BCC Mar. 3-4

Busy, busy days at the Brockville Country Club! Thursday and Friday, March 3 & 4 saw over 100 students, making up 23 curling teams and spares, plus teachers and parents converge on the BCC for the two-day EOSSAA (Eastern Ontario Secondary Schoolf Athletic Association) curling playdowns. Participating were boys, girls and mixed teams. Each team was guaranteed 3 games in a round-robin format with winners progressing to the Semi-finals and finals on day two (Friday).

Teams came from far and wide, including: Iroquois, Winchester, Kingston, Cornwall, Alexandria, Gananoque, Pembroke, Russell, Almonte, Douglas, Napanee, Perth, Smith Falls, and, of course, Brockville. The boys & girls winners will go on to the OFSAA (Ontario Federation School Athletic Association) bonspiel in Thunder Bay at the end of March.

Convener of the EOSSAA event at the BCC was Dawn Russell (pictured above) a teacher from Gananoque. Great job Dawn. Also special thanks to Jonathan, Denise and Christianne for their great effort in hosting the event.

And if one event is not enough, the EOSSAA finals finish Friday around 5:00 PM and at 6:30 PM Friday the 1st draw of the 1000 Islands Mixed Weekend bonspiel gets underway. Yes! Busy, busy times at the BCC! And everyone is welcome for the Saturday evening party with Healy & Orr. Come join the fun!
