Northwest Arena recently hosted Week 6 of the Backyard Curling Leagues sponsored by Dot’s Gift Boutique.

5:30 WEDNESDAY LEAGUE

The Stone Cold Curlers went 2-0 this week for the first time this season with wins over first-place The Brush Offs, 29-28, and All Curled Up, 30-29, receiving outstanding play from Matt Mancuso and Alex Miller.

Also going 2-0 were Golfers on Ice as they defeated Pepsi Zero’s, 41-35, and Arthur R. Gren, 35-31, as they were led by Bob Drake and Charlie Beach.

Pepsi Zero’s and Arthur R. Gren both bounced back with victories over Trojan Curlers, 50-37, and, 46-36, being led by Kellie Warner and Jon Gren Jr., respectively.

Arguably the best comeback and shot of the year came in All Curled Up’s incredible win on Marty Richau’s final stone of the game, where he knocked out all 12 of Close Enough’s points and left his stone in the house for the deciding 34-31 win.

In other action, The Brush Offs remained in the top spot, by going 1-1 on the week as they defeated Close Enough, 37-28, with Steve Shelters leading the way.
