The Nathaniel Shaw team from Montague picked up another big win today, eliminating the defending champion Clara Jack team from Cornwall and the Silver Fox with a 6-2 win in “A” semi-final action this afternoon at the Cornwall Curling Club, and earning a berth in the 1 pm Sunday “A” finals. They will be playing the winner of the other “A”  semi, at  9:30 am Sunday between two Silver Fox teams, skipped by Cruz Pineau, who was a finalist last year, and Andrew MacDougall, who both advanced to the A semis with lopsided wins this morning, finishing their round-robin pools with 2-0 records, the same as Jack and Shaw. Pineau has two players from Charlottetown’s Chase MacMillan team with him in this event.

Team Nathaniel Shaw

The key shot of the game between Shaw and Jack came in the third end when, tied 1-1, but facing six or seven Jack counters, plus guards out front, Shaw made a clutch draw to the edge of the four foot with his last shot, giving up one, but saving the game for the Shaw team. That stolen single was the last point for Jack, as Shaw came back with a triple, and, with the help of lots of guards, stole singles in ends five and six.

Ella Lenentine

Meanwhile, there’s now another Team Lenentine in town – with Lauren’s sister Ella winning the first “B” semi, 7-4 over another hometown rink, skipped by Jacob Dalton. They’ll be joined in the 1 pm Sunday B final by one of two Charlottetown teams, skipped by Nate MacRae and Mollie Shaw, who square off in the other semi-final, at 9:30 am Sunday. All four rinks finished the round robin in second place in their division, with 1-1 records.

Sydney Carver rink

The Sydney Carver squad from Montague won the first Section “C” semi 6-3 over the Ella Gavin rink from the Maple Leaf club in O’Leary. The second semi, at 9:30 am Sunday, is a battle between two Maple Leaf teams, skipped by Mannix Martin and Jorja McLellan, with the winner facing Carver at 1 pm.
