Birt, Carmody, MacPhee in the money in Moncton

Three Island rinks have advanced to the quarter-final round, which gets underway at 8:30 this morning at the Lady Monctonian Invitational cashspiel being played at Club Beausejour in Moncton.

In the all-PEI first qualifier, Suzanne Birt, Shelly Bradley, Leslie MacDougall, and Stefanie Clark will take on Rebecca Jean and Robyn MacPhee, Shelley Muzika, and Tammi Lowther.

The second matchup sees Jill Mouzar play fellow Haligonian Nancy McConnery, while two-time PEI Junior champion Erin Carmody, with her rink of Geri-Lynn Ramsay, Jessica vanOuwerkerk, and Darcie Birch, faces 2006 and 2007 New Brunswick Junior champ Mary Jane McGuire in the third quarter-final. The fourth game pits Mary-Anne Arsenault of Halifax against three-time New Brunswick women’s champ Sandy Comeau of Moncton.

Birt and Mouzar, both former Canadian Junior Women’s champs, lead the round robin with 5-0 win-loss records, while Carmody, McConnery, and MacPhee went 4-1, Comeau and Arsenault were 3-2, and McGuire finished at 2-3 in the closely-fought C pool. The other PEI rink in the cashspiel, skipped by Donna Butler of Cornwall, also finished play at 2-3 in that pool, along with Andrea Kelly of NB and Marie Christianson of NS.

Semi-finals go at 11:30 this morning, with the final at 2:30 pm.
