It came down to a last rock angle raise to out count a well guarded enemy rock on the edge of the four foot – curlers will understand how difficult this can be. The shot was beautifully judged and executed by the Oliver four of Skip Wanda Casorso, Third Joyce Kuzyk, Second Rita Logan and Lead Barb Casement to edge out the Lil Blashko rink from Penticton and win the “A “event final at the weekend Ladies and Men’s Combined Bonspiel.

Now, the story within the story. All four Oliver ladies are veterans of the ice and have fought many a hard battle but Joyce, a devilish competitor who some say started curling on Oliver ice before the roof was on the building (the OCC was established 1970), until now had never won a ladies “A” event in her own rink. How sweet and deserving this win is for her and the team. Congratulations to all and happy memories.
