The finals go at 5 this afternoon at the Dominion PEI Curling Club Championship in Cornwall, with seven men’s and six women’s teams competing to advance to the national The Dominion event, November 23-28 at the Cornwall and Charlottetown clubs.

The host club’s Lorianne Davies rink, which includes Melody Beck, Tracy MacDonald, and Lynda Turnbull, finished round robin play with a perfect 5-0 record, and advances directly to this afternoon’s women’s final. The Kim Aylward rink from the Silver Fox, with teammates Jeanne Duffenais, Michelle Weaver, and Debbie Caissy, finished second with a 3-2 win-loss record, and will play in the 2 pm semi-final. There was a three-way tie for third at 2-3 after round robin play, with Sharon Horne of Alberton’s Western Community club blanking defending champion Vanessa Hamming of Crapaud 7-0 in the first tiebreaker on Saturday night. Horne will now play Charlottetown’s Micki Cageorge rink in the second tiebreaker at 10 am, with the winner of that game facing Aylward in the semi-final. The winner of the semi then plays Davies for the title.

In the men’s section, the Dave Ross rink from Charlottetown were undefeated going into last night’s final round robin draw, but lost their game against Western’s Kevin Ellsworth team by a 7-3 score, putting them into a three way tie for first with Ellsworth, and Montague’s Donald Clarey rink. After draw to the button records were compared, Ellsworth was awarded first place, and advances directly to the 5 pm final. Second place Clarey and third place Ross square off in the 2 pm semi-final, with the winner playing Ellsworth in the final.

Other members of the Kevin Ellsworth rink are Fred Fraser, Allan Gaudet, and Gifford Costain. Playing with Donald Clarey are Larry Richards, Elliot Morrison, and Cameron Lerch, with fifth player Mike Clarey. Nick Fraser, Paul Gaudet, and Lester Wah round out the Ross team.
