Red Deer Classic

Team Bernard is on the right track. Last 3 tournaments, they reached the playoffs doing better each time. There are things to fix here and there, but it’s definitively positive. Will it be a good year for Cheryl and Co. in Red Deer? First match is at 12.15pm, Friday November 2nd, against Team Wood.  You can follow the tournament on Asham World Curling Tour website.

Let’s see their part of the draw.

Olympic Reunion

It was a reunion night for the Olympic quartet last Thursday night during the Gold Medal Plates Dinner in Calgary; A lot of laugh, a lot of great memories, very good food and 4 very good friends.

 Glenys Bakker joined Cheryl, Cori, Susan and Carolyn: Glenys played with Shannon Kleibrink for most of her curling career and was her second when they won the bronze medal in the 2006 Olympic Games.

Manitoba Classic : Semi Final

It is on the last rock that the quart final match was sealed – a draw to the pin. Team Bernard won 6-5 against Team Jones and went one step further. The semi final match didn't start so bad, then things got a little complicated and finally they lost 6-3 to Team Homan.

They can go home satisfied, the tournament went really well, they made it to the semi and added 22,000 points to their total. Ladies, well done!!!

 A weekend off and then, Team Bernard heads to Red Deer.

Manitoba Lotteries – reaching the playoffs

It wasn’t easy to make it there, but for a third tournament in a row, Team Bernard reached the playoffs. After losing their first match to McCarville 9-2, Team Bernard bounced back with a great win against Team Norberg 5-1 and then they defeated another Swedish Team, Team Sigfridsson 5-4 to get a spot in the playoffs. That last match wasn't that easy either and they had to measure Cheryl's last rock twice. Like FB follower Maureen said "it was that close"!

The quarter final match is at 10.00am (ct) tomorrow morning.

One of our followers asked me to make it clearer that the Team Norberg isn't the same team than the one in the 2010 Olympics. I wasn't so clear before I edited that post but I just meant that it was the same Annette: members of the Team Norberg as we saw it at the Olympics got separate ways after Vancouver.

Manitoba Lotteries

A loss, a win, keeping them into the B event. It wasn't easy in the morning against Team Jones losing 8-3 but they came back stronger after the break to win 6-2 over Team Kaufman. They will play in the morning (9.00am) against Team McCarville.
