Griffin handed the Cornwall team their first loss of the event Monday afternoon, by a 7-6 score, stealing the last end, and forcing the deciding game Monday evening, as required by the rules in the event that a team went undefeated in the round robin but lost the first championship game. Third Carolyn Coulson, second Melissa Morrow, and lead Jodi Murphy round out the winning Jackson squad, while  Bobby-Jean MacMillan, Wendy Fraser, and Alison Griffin are the other members of the runner-up Griffin rink.

Fraser, whose team includes Daryl MacDonald at third, second Blaine Hutt, and lead John Ellsworth, was trailing 4-3 after five ends in Monday afternoon’s final, when they picked up a triple in six. Desrosiers blanked the seventh, and picked up a tying deuce in the eighth, before Fraser scored one with hammer in the extra for a 7-6 win and the title.

Completing the runner-up Desrosiers team are Doug MacGregor (substituting for Pat Lynch who sustained an injury prior to the event), Jeff Gallant, and Brent Campbell.

The Griffin team, who had lost 9-6 to Jackson in their round robin encounter, were trailing 4-0 after the first end Monday afternoon, with the teams trading singles in the next two ends, but narrowed the gap to 5-4 with a fourth end triple. Jackson was kept to a single in five, with Griffin scoring a tying deuce in six. Jackson blanked the seventh to have last rock advantage coming home, but gave up a steal of 1.

The Freddy Fraser and Lisa Jackson teams will now advance to the national Travelers Curling Club Championship, November 23-28, 2015 at the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club, in Ottawa Ontario.
