11th Annual Five Year & Under
This past weekend, sixteen teams from six regional curling clubs participated in this two-day event graciously hosted by Exmoor Country Club. The 5 Year & Under provides new curlers with the chance to compete against other MCA curlers. Established in 2007, this open event allows those who have played less than five full seasons of curling the opportunity to gain more experience and play against their peers. The Midwest Curling Association would like to thank the host club and to extend our gratitude to all the new MCA curlers for a fantastic bonspiel!
Congratulations to all the winners and runners-up!
Hopefully, we see some of you again at the 2019 5 Year & Under!
