This has been a hard week....

Last Friday started off promising with a huge win in Swift Current. I was thinking that they could carry some momentum over into Brandon but OUCH.... that didn't happen. After being tied at 2 after the first and only trailing 4-2 after the second the ceiling fell in allowing 5 in the third to fall 9-3.

Here is the summary:
