Gallant loses in extra end in quarter-finals at Casino Lac Leamy Challenge

PEI’s Brett Gallant rink will be going home $3000 richer after losing out to Toronto’s Mark Keen rink in an extra end by a 6-5 score in this morning’s quarter-final round of the Casino Lac Leamy Challenge in Gatineau Quebec.  Keen picked up a triple in the first end, but the Gallant rink fought back and stole the eighth end to tie things up, but Keen pulled out the win in the extra. The Gallant rink includes Eddie MacKenzie, Anson Carmody, and Alex MacFadyen. Gallant’s former teammate, Adam Casey, playing with Brad Gushue of St. John’s, was also eliminated in the quarters, losing 5-4 to Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie. The semi-finals saw Jacobs beat Rob Rumfeldt of Guelph 7-2, and Jean-Michel Menard of Gatineau/Levis beat Keen 5-3. The final between Jacobs and Menard goes at 4 pm PEI time.

Total total purse is $36,500 in this World Curling Tour event.
