The 2010  Age 15 and Under Provincial Curling Championships, sponsored by M&M Meat Shops, get underway Friday afternoon, and wrap up on Sunday at the Western Community Curling Club in Alberton. The three boys teams will play a double round robin, while the six girls rinks will play a single. If there are no ties, the winner of the girls round robin will take the championship. If there are ties. there will be a playoff round. In the boys division, the top two teams will advance to the final game.

Live results will be available at peicurling.com/15andunder.

Defending champions are siblings Matthew and Amanda MacLean from the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O`Leary.  As Matthew’s team won the 17 and Under, and PEICA rules permit only two members from a team who wins an older age category to compete on one team, Matthew and teammate Marshall Smallman have teamed up with Kyle Hughes and Jonathan Schut from Charlottetown for this year’s event. Amanda’s team is not back, as they have graduated from the age category.
