Bill Whiston's team scored an 8-ender in the 2nd end (with hammer) of a Masters League game. The team was trailing 1-0 after the 1st. This team's average age is 70+ with two members at seventy something and the two youngsters both over 65! All are 'thrilled to life' by this achievement. The fifth man (Marcel Lanquette, on the right in the accompanying picture) is team cheerleader and team member until he took sick in December.
