National curling club championships underway today in Charlottetown, Cornwall
by Al MacLeod
Despite a lack of experience playing together, sometimes a team just clicks.
Donald Clarey and his Montague rink was only put together about a year ago before beginning play today at The Dominion national curling championships in Charlottetown and Cornwall.
The championships, in only their second year, will see a total of 28 men’s and women’s teams from across the country compete until Sunday for the title of national club champion.
Clarey, along with third Larry Richards, second Michael Clarey and lead Cameron Lerch, won the Montague Curling Club title and went on to win the provincial club championship last March.
“(The Dominion) will be a big event,” said Clarey. “We’ll have a lot of fun.”
The Summerside rink of skip Kim Aylward, third Jeanne Duffenais, second Michelle Weaver and lead Debbie Caissy will represent P.E.I. in the women’s division.
