THUNDER BAY – John Epping didn’t waste a lot of energy winning his first Northern Ontario Men’s Curling Championship.
Facing three Epping stones in the second end, Johnston’s draw was long, resulting in a steal of two. One end later, with three of the wrong-coloured stones in counting positions, Johnston wrecked on a guard and gave up two more and trailed 5-0 after three ends. He stole two more in the fourth when Johnston’s draw came up short of the four-foot.“It’s always exciting and it feels great, but there’s also a sense of relief. This has been a big goal of ours, our biggest goal starting the season.
