 Team Homan wins the GSOC Canadian Open title, after defeating  Team Tirinzoni 5-4! 
 

Team Homan was down 2-4 heading into the 8th end, after giving up a steal in the 7th (missed an attempt for the blank), but rallied to score 2 in the 8th end, and stole in the extra end after a Patz miss. 
 

For skip Rachel Homan, it’s her 15th career GSOC title (15-10 in finals), and second this year after winning the WFG Masters (also coincidentally over Team Tirinzoni) just over a month ago! Homan improves her H2H over Silvana Tirinzoni to 22-8, with 8 wins in their last 9 meetings dating back to April 27, 2019 at the GSOC Championships Cup. Team Homan is now 33-5 on the 2023/24 season, in the 7 events they competed in they’ve made 6 finals, and won 5 titles, with the only loss being at the GSOC KIOTI National to Team Gim (lost 6-7)

 

Despite all of Homan’s slam success though (2 at Tour Challenge, 2 at The National, 4 at Masters, 3 at Canadian Open, 4 at Champions Cup), she still hasn’t won the GSOC Players Championship title , hopefully she can do it this year

Whole bunch of National Championships are going on right now. 
 

 Nationals finished half a week ago, with Team Peterson and Team Shuster winning the women’s and men’s titles. 
 

So did the  Nationals, where Team Hasselborg and Team Nyman (Team Edin was absent) won the women’s and men’s titles. 
 

 Nationals are on currently, live stream here

 

But the big one is,  Women’s Nationals in a week. I’ll try my best to find a stream for the event, but I’m not very optimistic that I’ll eventually find one.

Whenever BBC Scotland cover domestic curling, it is always done on a shoestring budget. It really is cringe worthy.

They don't really cover it, they just retransmit the feed provided them by the organisers.
