COMING SOON TO OUR TROPHY CASE!
On Sunday April 2nd, the Oakville Outturns competed in the playoffs of the TCA Interclub League. This league provides young curlers (predominantly U18 and U15) with an opportunity to experience competitive curling and have an enjoyable time doing it. Participation in the league is open to any club in the general GTA area. The league plays a key role in the development and growth of youth curling in the GTA.
Leo has been a member of the Senators curling league at the club for many years. In March this year he put in a new team at the KofC bonspiel at the Midland Curling Club playing skip, with Michael Murphy also of the senators who played Vice. Leo went undefeated in his first three games reaching the finals in his division. Although taking silver his his final game his team played well and demonstrated numerous comebacks which thrilled the audience. With 36 teams registered in the bonspiel, congratulations to Leo and his team for their strong play and sportsmanship in their division.

Andrew Eckstein is a 2nd year member of the Senators and Thursday Men's league at the club. In March this year he entered the Knights of Columbus Bonspiel in Midland which had 36 teams registered. He tried his hand as skip for the first time and reached the finals in his Nina Division. Andrew's 3rd was Bob Fedurco who curls at the club in the mixed league. With a close back and forth game his team was down 7-6 going into the 8th end with Andrew having the hammer. Under pressure he made his final shot of the game which tied the score. This resulted in a final rock by both skips. Andrew's shot slipped through the house and finished runner up for the division. Great experience and fun tournament with an inexperienced team.

Delmanor Bonspiel Trophy renamed Bill Finlay Trophy24 years ago Bill Finlay, Roger Gilstrom, and their committee came up with an idea for a senior men’s bonspiel. They would have 32 teams play 5 games over 3 days followed by a dinner on the Friday night. It was called the Senior Men’s superspiel and was quite a success. It is now known as The Delmanor Senior Men’s Bonspiel after our very generous sponsor.
Team Webster of The Oakville Curling Club (Bruce Webster, Wayne Martin, Ken Leach, David Feldstein) followed up their successful defense of the TCA Goldline Senior Men’s Championship Title in January by winning the highly competitive Sportsman Bonspiel held here in Oakville January 27-29.
The Sportman's Bonspiel is the OCC’s premier men’s competitive bonspiel. The event has raised over $122,000 during the last 8 years and $14,000 plus so far this year for the charity “Sleeping Children Around the World“. Team Webster is delighted to have been a part of this effort and would like to thank Grant Clark for his inspirational work over the past 9 seasons.
