The combined Charlottetown/Maple Leaf rink of Kyle Hughes, Matthew MacLean, Marshall Smallman, and Jonathan Schut, with coach Shannon Smallman, beat the Alex Matters foursome from Charlottetown by a 7-2 score Saturday evening to win the boys division of the M&M Meat Shops Provincial 15 and Under Curling Championships at the Western Community Curling Club in Alberton. MacLean and Smallman, from the Maple Leaf club in O’Leary, were on last year’s winning team, and also won the 17 and Under this year. As the rules permit no more than two players from a team winning a higher age division to be on one team, MacLean and Smallman teamed up with Charlottetown’s Hughes and Schut. Other members of the runner-up Alex Matters rink are Chris Gallant, Kyle Holland, and Andrew Cameron, with coaches Peter Gallant and Derrick Cameron. The third team entered in the boys section, skipped by Brandon MacNevin of the Silver Fox, did not manage to pick up a win in double round robin play, while Hughes and Matters both finished at 4-1, with Matters beating Hughes 7-5 in their first round robin encounter, and Hughes doubling Matters 4-2 in their second game.

Three teams are tied with 3-1 win-loss records, with one round robin draw remaining, Sunday morning at 10:30, in the six team girls section. None of the three teams, skipped by Jenny McLean of the Silver Fox, Veronica Smith of Cornwall, and Caroline Rose of Montague, are playing against another 3-1 team in that draw, with McLean playing Emma Cousins of the Maple Leaf (2-2), Smith facing Emily Keen (1-3) of Charlottetown, and Rose meeting Fallon Arsenault of the Silver Fox, who has yet to pick up a win. If a definitive winner can be determined out of the round robin, no championship round will be needed. If not, semi-final rounds at 2 and 5 pm would be required.
