The defending champion Charlottetown Curling Club rink of Rod MacDonald, Kevin Champion, Andrew Robinson, and Mark O’Rourke, with fifth Peter MacDonald remain undefeated at the Labatt Tankard Final Six championships in Alberton, edging Summerside’s Tom Fetterly foursome 11-10 in an extra end tonight. Fetterly looked like he was headed for his first win in the event, leading 8-4 after seven ends, but MacDonald took four in the eighth, and stole a single in the ninth to lead 10-8. Fetterly tied the game with a deuce in the 10th, but MacDonald, with hammer won the game with an extra end single.

With one round robin draw remaining, the Eddie MacKenzie rink are in second place, at 3-1, after edging Charlottetown clubmate and last year’s runner-up John Likely 6-5. Likely is at an even 2-2, as is eight time Tankard winner Robert Campbell of Charlottetown who scored a triple in the tenth in a come-from-behind 6-4 victory over clubmate Bill Hope, who slips to 1-3.

The final round robin draw, Saturday at noon sees Hope play Likely, Campbell take on Fetterly, and first-place MacDonald face second-place MacKenzie.

Following any tiebreakers, the second and third place teams from the round robin will then square off in the semi-final, with the semi winner playing the first place team in the Sunday final.

The 2010 PEI Tankard winning team will advance to the Tim Hortons Brier, March 6-14 in Halifax.
