After Sunday afternoon play at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts Provincial Women’s Curling Championship in Montague, the Charlottetown Curling Club rink of Erin Carmody, Geri-Lynn Ramsay, Kathy O’Rourke, and Trisha Affleck are still undefeated. In the Sunday morning draw, they handed the Lisa Jackson foursome, also from the Charlottetown club, their first loss, winning 9-5 to take the A section final of this triple-knockout event. In the afternoon draw, the Carmody team scored seven points in the first three ends against Cornwall’s Donna Butler team, winning a 9-3 decision, and a berth in this evening’s 8 pm B section final.

Carmody will be playing the Tammy Dewar rink from the host Montague Curling Club in the B final. Dewar edged Lisa Jackson of Charlottetown 9-8 this afternoon to advance.

Defending champion Rebecca Jean MacPhee, and five-time champion Suzanne Birt both have two losses, and must keep winning to stay alive. MacPhee suffered her second defeat this morning, to Dewar, by a 7-6 score, while Birt remained in play with a 9-2 Sunday afternoon routing of the Shirley Berry Senior team from Charlottetown and Cornwall, aided greatly by a steal of five points in the second end, when Berry, facing six Birt counters, was wide on her final shot, taking out one Birt rock, but rolling out of the rings. In the Sunday evening draw, MacPhee plays Butler, while Birt takes on Jackson, with the losers going home, and the winners taking on Dewar and Carmody, respectively. The winners of those games, Monday at 2 pm, will face off in the C final, Monday night at 7.

Should Carmody win all three divisions, she will become the Scotties champion. Otherwise, a two game championship round will occur on Tuesday, at 2 and 7 pm, with the section winners advancing. Should a team win two sections, they would take the title if they won either championship game.

The eventual winners will advance to the national Scotties, January 30 to Feb. 7 in Sault Ste. Marie Ont.
