One of the four PEI rinks entered in the Atlantic Curling Tour’s championships at Moncton’s Curling Beausejour has made it to the quarter-final round, which got underway at 8 this morning. That rink skipped by Rod MacDonald, and including Andrew Robinson, Mark O’Rourke, and Sean Clarey, is playing Rick Perron of New Brunswick. The other quarters pit Ian Fitzner-LeBlanc of Halifax against Terry Odishaw of NB, Jamie Murphy against fellow Haligonian Chris Sutherland, and Chad Stevens against another NS rink, skipped by Shawn Adams.

PEI’s Kevin Champion rink lost to Adams 6-1 in a Sunday night tiebreaker, after winning their first two games, against Adams and Campbell, and losing 5-4 to Perron. Eddie MacKenzie and tour moneyleader Robert Campbell did not pick up wins in the event, with Campbell losing 7-6 to Perron, 6-5 to Champion, and 9-5 to Adams, while MacKenzie lost 5-4 to MacDonald, and 8-3 to Stevens. MacDonald recorded wins against MacKenzie (5-4), Ken Myers of Halifax (6-3), and lost 5-3 to Stevens before advancing to the quarter-final round.

$10,o00 is the total purse in this cashspiel, which wraps up with the semi-finals at 11 this morning, and the final at 2 pm.
