Ottawa: This year’s Canadian Travelers Curling Club Champions are the Prince Edward Island women and Newfoundland and Labrador men. The women’s champs, from the Cornwall Curling Club are the rink of Lisa Jackson, Carolyn Coulson, Melissa Morrow, and Jodi Murphy. Andrew Symonds, Mark Healy, Cory Ewart, Keith Jewer from Newfoundland and Labrador, won the men’s championship, a first-time win for both provinces in these events.

In fact, this is the first time that the Cornwall club has ever won a Curling Canada national championship (they did win the Canadian Open and Women’s 2 person Stick curling titles, held  at their own club back in 2013).

The Cornwall reps beat the Ontario women’s team, skipped by Tina Mazerolle, 5-3 in this afternoon’s final, blanking the 1st end and scoring two with hammer  in the 2nd. Ontario took singles in the next two ends, but PEI pulled ahead with a deuce and a stolen single in ends 5 and 6. Ontario took one in seven, but ran out of rocks in the eighth. PEI also scored an eight ender in round robin play, the first eight-ender ever scored in a Curling Canada national championship.
