Late night ticker - City of Ottawa Bonspiel - Game #1

It's pretty late, but I thought I would mention that my team had won tonight. The game was out of hand early, and we never faced any real threat from our opposition. The final score flattered the other team from Rideau 9-4. We had built a 7-0 lead after 3 ends of play, and a 9-0 lead after 5. The other team had very little experience and continued to want to play. Instead of playing a clean game the rest of the way, we played things messy to allow for the other team to get some points. We had discussed quitting after 6, but continued for a 7th end because the other team wanted to play some more. It was agreed that the game would be called after 7 regardless of the score, so the other team was able to get additional points and the final score would flatter them a little more.

Our next game, Wednesday night (7pm) at Cityview Curling Club should offer a better challenge. I do not expect to have any more of those games going forward.
