Last weekend, I played in curling bonspiel (tournament) hosted by WCC Club of California. Sixteen teams from US and Canada participated including the US Men's Team who won bronze medal in this year's World Champioships. Take a look at this picture by an online sport magazine. Yes its the US Team with Radyo San Guilmo host in the background ready to "sweep." Btw, we're 0-3 in the tournament, we lost to a team from Tennessee (did I spell it right), from Bay Area, not bad, considering it's our very first competition.
Go Philippine Curling!
