Mel Bernard rink wins Senior Mixed title

The Mel Bernard foursome, which includes third Jeanne Duffenais, second Earle Proude, and lead Helen MacDonald, edged defending champions and Silver Fox clubmates the Blair Jay foursome 7-6 on Sunday afternoon to win the 2008-2009 Provincial Senior Mixed Curling Championship. Other members of the Jay team are Barbara Currie, Douglas Simmons and Debbie MacMurdo.

Summerside’s Jay beat Cornwall’s Geoff Scutt rink 8-2 in the semi-final on Sunday morning to advance to the 2 pm final against Bernard, who finished atop the round robin standings, with a 4-1 win-loss record, and advanced directly to the final match.  Jay and Scutt both had 3-2 round robin records, but Jay beat Scutt in their exciting round robin encounter on Friday, by stealing an extra-end triple, to take second place honours.

Bob MacWilliams of Cornwall, the 2006 event winner, and Donald Clarey of Montague, finished play at 2-3, with Walter Callaghan of the host club picking up one win against four losses.

Six teams began play on Friday in this event, now in its third year.
