Westman Super League

Allan Lyburn defeated Kelly Skinner in Swan River last weekend, in the Whites Drug Store Classic, winning $9,000 but Skinner ( Darcy Hayward ) found revenge, beating Allan ( Cory Barkley ) on Wednesday night in the Westman Super League 6 to 4. The win moved Skinner to 5 and 1 and first place in the 12 team league. Lyburn fell to 4 and 2 and a tie for second place.

Graham Freeman's Virden team lost to Willie Lyburn and now sports a 3 and 3 record. Full standings and results can be found in the Westman Super League website.

NEW BAR MANAGERS

Karla Gardiner and Darla Hayward have taken on a new enterprise this winter. They are the Virden Curling Club's new Bar Managers. They both have curled at our club for sometime and now they bring their pleasant, bubbly personalities to serve our members in the curling club's lounge.

Sales to start the season have been very strong and it has been due largely to some new things that they have tried.

Come and join the friendly atmosphere they have created in the Virden Curling Club Bar.

GREAT WEEKEND FOR LOCAL VIRDEN CURLERS

Allan Lyburn's Brandon team vaulted into third place in the MCT standings by winning the WHITES' DRUG STORE CLASSIC today in Swan River, topping Kelly Skinner of Hamiota 8-4 in today's final.

With support from Scott Ramsay, Mark Taylor, and Cory Barkley, Lyburn opened an early 4-1 lead in the final, and coasted to a victory worth $9,000 to the Brandon foursome. Playing out of Hamiota, Skinner's crew of Allan Lawn, Darcy Hayward, and Trevor Taylor, failed to add a second MCT triumph to its earlier win this season in the King Spud Classic in Carberry. Runner-up money in Swan River was $7,000.

Skinner defeated Randy Bryden of Regina 3-2, while Lyburn was a 6-2 winner over Murray Woodward of Ste. Anne in the semi-finals. Bryden and Woodward took home $5,000 apiece, while losing quarter-finalists Brent Scales of Swan River, last year's winner Joel Jordison of Moose Jaw, Craig Disher of Rolla, North Dakota, and Saskatoon's Shawn Joyce each received $3,500 (18 teams - 8 qualifiers).
