House of Toast Curling Team Beats DeKater Group
After
surviving 9 rounds of fast paced curling action, the
House of Toast Curling team (led by David Flavell) has
advanced to the final round of competition at the
International Restaurant Owners Curling Championship.
The team advanced after a narrow win against the Dutch
team (who were sponsored in-part by the DeKater
restaurant group www.dekater.com, and led by none other
than Dirk Famularo).
"It
was a close game all the way", said Flavell, the teams
Skip. We were in a sticky situation: Second end counting
5 rocks (opposition had 6th stone and Sage rink 7th) and
1 rock in front of the house with last rock to come (see
diagram on left). Last rock called for an angle raise
take-out with the shooter rolling in for the 8th
counter. The diagram on the right shows the final
position of all 8 rocks. The House of Toast team won
16-15, with odd eights against the wall.
The
team now moves on to the final round of competition and
according to Flavell, they plan to give the world
champion Canadians (made up of members of the White
Castle chain) a run for their money.
Flavell was assisted by Vince "Vinny" Ciccarello (lead),
Jerry "Armageddon" Vadenaise (second) and Greg "Makers
Mark" Whitford (third). All four are long time employees
of House of Toast. The team is managed by Sharyl Vaughn
and Ruth Phillips.
House of Toast is the world's
premier Toast Eatery, with over 200 locations in the US
alone.
