MOOSEJAWTODAY.COM -- And then there was one.
Barry Silk and his Fountain Tire rink are the lone unbeaten team remaining in the Original 16 Cash League after the most recent draw of round robin action at the Moose Jaw Curling Centre.
Silk took on KMS Construction (Ben Gamble, 3-1) in a battle of the unbeatens on Wednesday night and improved to 4-0 on the campaign with a 6-1 victory. Things were as close as expected in the early going, as Silk picked up a single point in the fifth end to take a 2-1 lead. Everything went his way from there, though, as Silk would steal a pair in the sixth and another two in the seventh to bring the game to an early end.
Leeville Construction (Dustin Woloschuk) kept pace with Silk for first place and improved to 4-1 with a 10-2 victory over Young and Young Automotive (Stan Barnsley, 0-5). The game was tied 1-1 heading into the third end, when Woloschuk would put up three to take control of the game. Barnsley got one back in the fourth, but after Woloschuk scored single points the next two ends, he’d add a steal of four in the seventh for the commanding win.
Wade Gray (3-1) remained a win back of the leaders, holding M&T Feedlot (Ryan Wenarchuk, 1-3) to only two points in the second end as they went on to a 9-2 five-end victory. Gray scored three in the third to take a 4-1 lead, stole one in the fourth and then racked up a four-ender in the fifth to finish things off.
The other game on the night saw RK Sunview Farms (Dayne Heisler, 1-3) pick up his first victory of the season, scoring a pair in the eighth for a back-and-forth 7-5 win over EMJ Marketing (Joe Gunnis, 1-4). The teams exchanged deuces in the third and fourth ends before Heisler scored three in the fifth to go into the break with a 5-3 lead. Gunnis tied the game in the sixth, and Heisler would blank the seventh before putting the hammer to perfect use in the eighth and securing the victory.
BTN Chartered Accountants (Penny Barker, 3-1) had the bye.
Action in the Original 16 Cash League takes place every Wednesday night at the Moose Jaw Curling Centre.
