The Charlottetown Curling Club’s Erin Carmody foursome will play the Tammy Dewar rink from the host Montague Curling Club in the two game championship round, Tuesday at 2 and 7 pm, as the Scotties Tournament of Heart Provincial Women’s Curling Championship wraps up in Montague.
Carmody took the C title in the triple knockout competition tonight, beating Cornwall’s Donna Butler rink by a 7-5 score. As Carmody also won the A section, she has a big advantage in the championship round, as, by winning two sections, she will take the championship if she wins either game, while Dewar, who won only the B section, must win both games to take the title.
In tonight’s game, Butler was ahead 4-2 after stealing a deuce in the seventh end, but Carmody took four points in the eighth. The teams traded singles in the last ends, to give Carmody the win by a two point margin.
Other members of the Carmody rink are third Geri-Lynn Ramsay, Kathy O’Rourke, who throws second stone, but calls the game, and lead Trisha Affleck.
The Butler rink includes Carolyn Coulson, Melissa Andrews, Lori Brine, and fifth player Leita Chisholm, along with coach Kathie Gallant. The Dewar team includes June Moyaert at third, Darlene London at second stone, and Gail Greene in the lead position. Moyaert was on the Jennifer Ramsay rink, the last team from Montague to win the women’s championship, in 1988.
The PEI Scotties winning team will advance to the national Scotties, January 30 to February 7 in Sault Ste. Marie Ont.
