2011 Royal LePage OVCA Champs

After a weekend off and a disappointing weekend in Winnipeg, Team Middaugh is back to their winning ways. A very successful event in Kemptville having some great games against Ontario teams, a USA team, a team from Switzerland and Mary-Ann Arsenault from NS. We entered the spiel hoping to get some practice against teams that we will see in our Ontario play downs only to see that our first few games were against non-Ontario teams but all three games in the championship round were versus Ontario teams. On Monday we had a measure for the win against Cathy Auld, an extra end win against Laura Crocker and then a great final game against Jenn Hanna. Overall a great weekend as all teams were treated royally by the Kemptville Committee. Thanks to Jim and Bill and all the volunteers for a fantastic event, to Royal LePage as the title sponsor and to all 24 team sponsors. An event of this magnitude could not even be attempted if it were not for financial support from the community and all the volunteers. Thank you to all the spectators who came out to watch, nice to see so many friendly faces.

The team even got some shopping done, some Christmas and some personal, though we didn't get to the craft show as we had hoped. For anyone who is not familiar with the area Kemptville and Merrickville have some incredible little boutiques with some unique jewelry and clothing. We stayed at the Dewars Inn on the River located in Prescott, right along the St. Lawrence River. It is a quaint little hotel with hotel rooms and cottages and highly recommend it.

We have a well deserved weekend off and then on to Brantford for the SunLife. Here's hoping our winning ways continue.
