(CCA) Calgary’s Cheryl Bernard is back in Olympic-Games form and she’ll face Saskatoon’s Stefanie Lawton to provide conclusive proof when the women’s scrapping at Canada Cup of Curling winds up in a battle for $25,000 today (Sunday) at 9 pm Atlantic on TSN.

Winning her eighth straight over her cowtown rival, Bernard and her team of Susan O’Connor, Carolyn Darbyshire and Cori Morris stole vital fifth- and sixth-end singles en route to a 6-4 duke in the Page One morning match and advanced directly to the championship final.
Kleibrink appeared frustrated by a relentless Lawton onslaught in the afternoon semi-final and surrendered 8-4.
Lawton, with Sherry Anderson, Sherri Singler and Marliese Kasner operating efficiently in front, clobbered Krista McCarville of Thunder Bay 9-2 to emerge from the sudden-death Page Two scuffle.
“We came to play today and it really showed,” said the 30-year-old Lawton. “We made all kinds of shots. They (Kleibrink) just struggled with draw weight and having an early lead we were able to hit away.”
