Several teams came out to compete at the Taber Ladies Bonspiel which concluded this past weekend at the Taber Curling Club.

Down by two late in the match, Dupont managed to steal two in the seventh end and another in the eighth to win 5-4 over the rink of Karen Morrison, Val Leahy, Shirley McPherson and Olga Fyfe.

Taking third in the ‘A’ event were the foursome of Taber’s Mae Kanomata, Cindy Kanomata, Gina Turcato and Venisa Garner.

In fourth was Taber skip Elsie Sasaki and team Amy Nakamura, Taylor Bexte, and Erin Betcher.

Leading the way in the ‘B’ event were the Taber team of Andrea Makarchuk, Heather Paterson, Shannon Clarke and Kristy Coulter.
