It was an exciting finish as the Pepsi Provincial Junior (20 and Under) Curling Championships wrapped up on Saturday afternoon, with both finals going to an extra end.

In the Junior Women's section, Meaghan Hughes made it four PEI junior championships in a row, as she edged last year's runner-up, Danielle Sharkey, by the same score as last year - 6-5. Hughes took a 3-2 lead at the half with the only deuce scored in the game. The teams traded singles right through to the extra end, giving Hughes the win. Other members of the Hughes rink, from the Montague and Charlottetown curling clubs, are Sinead Dolan, Michala Robison, and Erika Nabuurs, with coaches Brenda MacMillan and Rebecca Jean MacPhee. The Sharkey rink, from the host Crapaud Community Curling Club, includes Erin Carmody, Geri-Lynn Ramsay, and Michelle Mackie, with coach Pat Aylward.

Hughes lost to Sharkey 7-6 in an extra end in semi-final play, but made it to the final with an 8-4 win over Cornwall's Erin MacDougall rink in the second modified Page system semi-final game. MacDougall defeated Jessica van Ouwerkerk of the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club by a 9-3 score in quarter-final play. Hughes and Sharkey were undefeated in round robin play, while MacDougall had one loss.

Hughes shares the honour of winning four consecutive titles with Gloria Basha, who won in 1972 through 1975, but falls short of the record five wins set by world and Canadian champion Suzanne Gaudet in 1998-2002.

Meanwhile, Brett Gallant added a second Junior men's title to his collection. He won the event at age 13 two years ago, making him the youngest skip ever at a Canadian championship. He was runner-up to Steven Howard last year, as well as 17 and Under champion, and recently won the PEI junior men's berth in the 2007 Canada Games in Whitehorse.

In today's game, Timothy Cullen stole the first end, with Gallant blanking the next three, and scoring a 5th end deuce to lead 2-1 at the half. Cullen took a single in the sixth, and stole another point in the seventh to take the lead. Gallant came back with a deuce in the eighth. The 9th was blanked, and Cullen tied it up in the 10th. Gallant used hammer in the extra end to win by a 5-4 score.

Gallant, curling out of the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in Summerside, earned a bye to the finals with an 8-2 semi-final win over Cullen of the Charlottetown Curling Club. Cullen came back in the second final to edge Kendall Keeley of the Montague and Charlottetown curling clubs by a 6-5 score to advance to the final game. Gallant was undefeated in round-robin play, while Cullen and Keeley each had one loss.

Other members of the Gallant foursome are Adam Casey, Anson Carmody, and Alex MacFadyen. Kathie Gallant is coach.
Playing with Cullen were Isaac Shaw, Mike LeBlanc, and Robbie Doherty, with coach Marilyn Sutherland.

The Meaghan Hughes and Brett Gallant rinks advance to the first M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors, January 21-29 in Thunder Bay Ontario.

Notes:

(a) if one team is undefeated throughout the event they do NOT have to be beaten twice in the final.
(b) if there are only 3 or 4 teams registered they would play a double round robin with top 2 teams going to the finals (if after the round robin one team is undefeated, they will be declared the winner, otherwise, the top 2 teams will play a sudden death final);
(c) 5 to 7 teams would play a round robin with top 3 teams advancing to a playoff. The playoff format shall consist of a sudden death semi-final with 2nd placed team playing the 3rd place team, winner advancing to the final and loser eliminated. In the sudden death final, the 1st place team in the round robin shall play the winner of the semi-final;
(d) 8 to 14 teams would split into 2 pools with the top 2 teams from both pools advancing to a modified Page system. This system states that the top teams from the 2 divisions would play in one semi-final: winner goes to the final and loser would go to the 2nd semi-final. The 2 second place teams would play a quarter final with the winner advancing to semi final against the loser of top 2 teams.
(e) The following tie-breaking formula will be used to break ties for first and second place:
1-Best record in games involving tied teams
2-Draw to the Button competition
3-A four-way tie for second will be broken by two tie-breaking games, with the winners playing semi-finals. The tie-breaking formula in 1 and 2 will be used to determine who plays whom, with highest playing lowest.
4-Third place ties will be resolved by a tie breaker game.
