Missed throwing with you hoss. Back wouldn't even let me drive in a
car.

Yeah Matt broke every field record except for the WOB. Some were 10 year old records. Set by the ones who are pros now.

I got my butt handed to me on every event except the WOB. No excuses I was beat by Duncan he was better and more prepared.

Duncan  Great throwing with you. I laughed all day long and it was fun from start to finish. We need to do this again next season, when I am actually better.

Matt, huge huge day for you my friend. You threw like a man on a mission.

People:

Please allow me to extend a huge thanks to all the
athletes, helpers, scorekeepers, announcers & judges who
made this years games possible. Without them, this years
games would not have been the success they were.

My "A" group were such good sports that they proudly wore
the azalea pink shirts that Kimberley suggested they
receive. Much fun was had related to this... and I'll
remember to bring a #20 sheaf bag just for Matt next time
LOL.

My "B" group was a sampling from the mere beginner to
those on the cusp of moving to the A's. You all gave
everything your hearts could give and I very much
appreciate that.

My Masters group was just a thrill to watch. Never
before have I seen such a close battle in this group.
And let me say thank you to Eric Wechter for catching my
mistake at the end of the day. Kudos!

My Womens group was amazing. Super diverse competition
and a half-point win to the hometown(ish) girl Amanda
Micka. Grats!

My scorekeepers/field helpers were fantastic. Always at
the ready and never missed a beat. John, Valerie & Keira
McClain (Keira passed out water to everyone), Grant
Rosborough, Lisa Gourlay, Kim Davis and Mick Howe & Son.
I thank you for the two
days of "running around like a chicken with its head cut
off".

Field announcing was exemplary as always with Bob
Malcomson behind the mic. We had the addition of Rachel
Watkins this year who put a female flavor to the goings
on. Great sense of humor from both these folks and their
addition is greatly appreciated.

I am always in awe of my judges and this year was no
exception. Larry Satchwell, Drew Savage, Drum Murray &
Bob Gourlay were super cool, uber professional and held
the field together without incident. My hat comes off to
you all. Thank You.

Last but not least, my unending gratitude goes out to my
co-director Kimberley Baldwin. A hard worker,
uncomplaining and always personable. The weekend always
seems so much easier to get through when shes involved.

With a team like this, a game would be very hard-pressed
to fail. I am very proud to have such people willing to
do so much for so little. I love you all and eagerly
look forward to next year.

Eeeeewwwwwwwwww I feel like Lucy after a wet one from Snoopy.

Can't wait for next years game and how you'll surprise Kim.

Jayson always puts on a good game. Big throws from Matt. That 51'3'' throw with that 18.6lb stone is awesome. The N/S is going to be something to watch.
