The log jam
of teams with three wins and three losses will be broken in Norquay January 09
when Kamsack’s Fred Perepiolkin will go against MLA Terry Dennis of Canora, and
Rick Kinaschuk of Benito will face Jeremy Hrycenko of Arran.
The winners
of this tie-breaker draw will advance to A-Side semi-final play in Benito
January 10th. One team that loses in Norquay will play against
Trofimenkoff in the B-Side semi-final, also scheduled for Benito January 10.
The other team that loses in Norquay will advance to the B-Side final.
How did all
this happen?
Let’s go
back to Kamsack for Draw 06 played December 20th. Don Bowes,
sponsored by Cottenie and Gardner Inc, was engaged in a close game with the
Hrycenko brothers, backed by Rawhides Bistro and Saloon. Bowes blanked the
seventh end and had hammer coming home with a rock buried in the four foot
circle. The game was tied 3-3. After much deliberation, Jeremy Hrycenko,
throwing his last stone, attempted a raise take out and missed, giving Bowes
the win.
Fred
Perepiolkin and his Kamsack crew, sponsored by Nykolaishen Farms, showed
remarkable poise in defeating Ken Newell’s Norquay team in seven ends. At one
point Newell had three rocks counting in the four foot ring that were cancelled
when Perepiolkin calmly drew the button.
The final
game in Draw 06 saw Terry Dennis squeak by Randy Trofimenkoff 5-4 after eight
ends.
Duck
Mountain Super League curling resumed in Benito January 03 when Newell clipped
Hrycenko and Dennis, sponsored by Pioneer Hi-Bred Seeds of Canora, won his game against hometown favourite Rick
Kinaschuk, bankrolled by W.F. Schnieder and Son Ltd. A third round-robin game scheduled for Benito was conceded to
Bowes when the Trofimenkoff could not
ice enough players.
2016-2017 will mark year 30 in the history of the Duck Mountain Super League of men’s curling.
