Curlers at the Thistle St. Andrews Curling Club in Saint John seem to have a bit of good luck up their sleeve.
Adam Brown, Iona Brown, Mike Babineau and Carol Gatien scored what is known as an eight-ender on Wednesday.
It comes just over a week after another team of curlers Vicky Mills, Donna Hawco and Debbie Boudreau
“It is a rare and extraordinary feat and to have two happen in the last two weeks is mind-blowing,” the club said in a Facebook post.
In case you are unsure, an eight-ender is when all eight stones from one team score points in a single end.
