PEI’s Kathy O’Rourke rink beat the Krista McCarville rink from Ontario by a 10-6 score in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts semi-final this evening in Sault Ste. Marie. This puts them in the 3:30 pm Atlantic final Sunday against Jennifer Jones and Team Canada, who are seeking their third consecutive Scotties. No PEI team has ever won a Canadian women’s curling championship. The Island rink includes skip Kathy O’Rourke, who throws second stones, Erin Carmody, who throws fourth, third Geri-Lynn Ramsay, and lead Tricia Affleck, with coach Al Ledgerwood.
The winner of the Scotties title will represent Canada at the Ford World women’s championship, March 20-28 at Swift Current, SK.
