MOOSEJAWTODAY.COM -- Things are beginning to take shape in the Original 16 Cash League standings after the most recent round of competition on Wednesday night.
The marquee match on the night was a second-place showdown between KMS Construction (Ben Gamble, 5-1) and Leeville Construction (Dustin Woloschuk, 4-2), with Gamble taking over sole possession with an 8-4 victory at the Moose Jaw Curling Centre.
Gamble got off to a great start with three in the first end and followed up with a pair in the third before stealing another in the fourth for a quick 6-1 lead. Woloschuk got back into it with a pair in the fifth and steal in the sixth, but that’s as close as they’d get, as Gamble added a deuce in the seventh to bring the game to an early end.
Fountain Tire (Chris Schon, 6-0) remained undefeated on the season thanks to a commanding 8-2 win over M & T Feedlot (Ryan Wenarchuk, 1-5). After the teams exchanged singles the first two ends, Schon picked up a pair in the third to take the lead for good. Single points for each team in the fourth and fifth made it a 4-2 game, and Schon would bring things to an early end with a steal of four in the sixth.
R.K. Sunview Farms (Dayne Heisler, 3-4) had the highest-scoring win of the week, taking a 10-5 victory over Young and Young Automotive (Stan Barnsley, 1-6). Things were back-and-forth in the early going as the teams exchanged deuces through the first four ends and were tied 4-4. Heisler took control with a pair in the fifth, though, and after Barnsley settled for one in the sixth, added another two in the seventh to go up 8-5. Heisler then wrapped things up with a steal of two in the eighth.
The other game in Draw 7 saw BTN Chartered Accountants (Penny Barker, 4-2) defeat HK Henderson (Wade Gray, 3-3), with complete details from the match unavailable.
