DAVIDSON — Thirteen teams took part in this year’s Ladies Bonspiel, hosted by the Davidson Curling Club on March 11 and 12.

Competition took place over two days with the finals taking place on Saturday night. Prizes were donated by close to 40 local businesses, organizations and residents.

Organizer Marla Dezotell said there was one full team taking part from Saskatoon, along with numerous out-of-town players joining local teams.

“It turned out to be a lot of fun,” she said, adding that the weekend was “enjoyed thoroughly by all.”

Finishing in first prize in the A event was Beth Booker’s rink, consisting of herself, third Tracey Palmer, second Teaka White and lead Terry Firby. Booker’s team defeated the Agnes Viczko rink to claim the title.

Donna Cross’s rink defeated Stacey Belisle’s team to win the final in the B event. In addition to Cross, the winning team included lead Lois Dueck, third Selma Nelson, second Karen Reich and fifth Vonne Johnson.

Andrea Pottie’s team defeated Lindsay Cross’s rink to win in the C event, while Laura Williams triumphed over Liza Dahl to claim the title in the D event.
