As it turns out, that’s exactly what happened as Lorraine Arguin and Ben Gamble would go undefeated through the weekend to take first place in the Fonger Wealth Management Two-on-Two Bonspiel this past weekend at the Moose Jaw Ford Curlng Centre.
The event – which follows traditional mixed doubles curling rules – featured a total of 16 teams in action and has quickly become one of the most popular events in the first half of the season.
Arguin and Gamble defeated Brett Murray and Rob Sonder in the ‘A’ final after rolling to a commanding win over Derek and Chadd McKenzie in the semis. Murray and Sonder edged Ana Cornea and Daniel Moerike in their semifinal bout.
The Rochelle Rugg team won the tournament’s ‘B’ side, while Barry Silk and Bob Desjarlais won the ‘C’ and Donna Ackerman joined Shannon Gattrell to win the ‘D’ event.
The tournament also featured a draw-to-the-button competition, where Derek McKenzie won $550 with his shot landing closest to the pin but was unable to completely cover the button with a follow-up draw for $50,000.
