It’s an all-Cornwall  final in the Junior Men’s section of the PEI Canada Games Trials, getting underway at 1:30 this afternoon at the Charlottetown Curling Club. In tiebreaker play this morning, Cornwall’s Jeff Taylor rink edged the Matthew MacLean foursome from O’Leary 6-5 in an extra end to advance to this afternoon’s final against Cornwall’s Tyler Smith rink.

Other members of the Tyler Smith rink are Parker and Noah O’Connor, and Tyson Smith, with coach Kevin Smith. Alex Sutherland, Alex Jenkins, and Jonathan Schut, with coach AJ Campbell, round out the Jeff Taylor foursome.

Yesterday,  O’Leary’s Amanda MacLean team beat Cornwall’s Veronica Smith rink in the junior women’s final.

In this morning’s game, Taylor blanked the first end, recorded a double in the second, and stole a single in the third to lead 3-0. MacLean tied it up with a deuce in the fourth, and stole a single in the sixth. Taylor moved ahead with a pair in the seventh, and MacLean came back with two of his own in the eighth to tie the game at 5-all, and force an extra end, where Taylor, with hammer, scored the winning point.

The winner of this afternoon’s game will advance to the Canada Games, February 11-27 2011 in Halifax. The Mayflower Curling Club is the curling venue.
