The combined Cornwall/Silver Fox rink of Sarah Fullerton, Justin Richard, Sara MacRae and Corey Miller, with coach Brenda MacMillan, defeated the Charlottetown Curling Club team of Adam Casey, his sister Anita Casey, Anson Carmody, and Hillary Thompson, with coach Jeff Wilson, by a 9-5 score Sunday afternoon to win the 20 and Under division of the Island Petroleum Junior Mixed, which took place over the weekend at Summerside’s Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club. Fullerton stole a deuce in the first end and a single in the second for a 3-0 lead, but Casey tied it up with a deuce and a single of his own in the next two ends. The teams traded deuces in ends five and six, but a four-ender in the seventh end won it for Fullerton, who is also the skip of this year’s Pepsi Provincial Junior Women’s championship team.

Fullerton and Casey both went through round robin play with 3-1 records, with Casey beating Fullerton 7-3 in their round robin encounter, but losing to 10-4 to Alberton’s Colton Griffin rink in an earlier game. By coming first and second in the round robin, both teams advanced directly to today’s championship game.

The other teams in the 20 and Under division were skipped by Griffin, and by Spencer Pitre of Charlottetown, both of whom finished with 2-2 records, and by Cody Dixon of Montague, who did not pick up a win.

On Saturday afternoon, the Charlottetown Curling Club rink of Alex Matters, Emily Keen, Andrew Cameron, and Emma Matheson, with coach Derrick Cameron, captured the 15 and Under division, winning three straight in their best of five series against the combined Charlottetown/Silver Fox team skipped by Christopher Gallant. Other members of the Gallant team are Jenny McLean, Kyle Holland, and Lauren MacFadyen, with coach Dr. Don Vickerson. The scores in the three games were 6-1, 6-3. and 5-4.
