Following a tiebreaker game this afternoon at the pre-Trials event at the Silver Fox, all eight teams have now been qualified for the Canada Games Curling Trials, Dec. 11-14 at the Charlottetown Curling Club. The young Tyler Smith rink from the Cornwall Curling Club made it through to the Trials this afternoon, with a 7-4 victory over the Alex Matters foursome from Charlottetown. The eleven year old Cornwall skip stole a deuce in the 5th end en route to the victory. This makes a hat trick for the Cornwall club, with all three teams entered advancing to the Trials. Two teams are from the Montague Curling Club, two from the Maple Leaf club in O’Leary, and one team is from the Silver Fox in Summerside.
