A bit different being on the other side of the glass this weekend for Jess where she was involved in umpiring the Junior Mixed Doubles Nationals!

Congratulations to Ellie and Jed on taking the title and to everyone else who competed and put on a great show of curling.

It was fantastic to see the spirit of curling in action in our young players over the weekend! The future of curling in NZ is looking bright 🤩

Ben: Showing us how it’s done
Jess: Giving it her best shot 😂
Spot the difference… 👀

Ben and Mum competed in a points match for Kiwi Curling Club today and Ben claimed the top in our club! At the end of the day Jess was convinced to give it crack.
Should Jess just stick to indoor curling or is there some (small) potential talent there? 😅
