and Denni Neufeld) made his first bonspiel of the season a winning one,
capturing the men's division of the AGRICORE UNITED CLASSIC in
Beausejour. The women's title went to the Swiss foursome of Mirjam (meer-yam)
Ott, a team competing in Manitoba for two MCT events.
Peters drew the four-foot-circle
