THE KIA KATCHUP

Wednesday February 8th, 2006-Day 2

Day 2 at the Northern Ontario Men’s play downs saw more great curling at the Nipigon Arena. In the afternoon draw, the Rob Gordon team from Hailebury jumped to a 2-0 record with a 10-7 win over the Kirk Van Os rink. A 4 and 3 ender proved to be the difference in this game.A real battle took placeon sheet B as the Joe Scharf rink jumped to a quick 2 to nothing lead after scoring a 2 ,and 1 in the first 2 ends only to see Brian Burgess come back with 3 , and then steal 3 of his own.At the end of 10 all was tied , and Burgess made a nice double in the extra to take the win in his opening game.

The battle of the Soo saw the Al Harnden rink get his first win with a 6-3 win over Dan Lemieux, and after being down 7-3 at the half the John Salo rink fought back to tie his game 8-8 in the 8th, but a great 9th by Al Belec to score 2 gave him the chance to run Salo out of rocks in the 10th for the win.

The evening draw saw Rob Gordon goto a 3-0 record and sit alone atop the standings ,with an 8-4 win over Brian Burgess. The Johnny Salo and Joe Scharf rink sit at 2-1 with wins in their games , and the Dan Lemieux gets his first win with a 10-6 win over Al Belec.
