Fullerton, Ramsay win finals of Maritime Junior Fall Fling Cashspiel (Journal)

By Nancy MacPhee.

SUMMERSIDE – It was a nail-biting comeback for the
Sarah Fullerton rink.

Fullerton and her teammates bounced back from a 5-0 deficit after five ends
to force an extra end en route to winning the Maritime Junior Fall Fling
cashspiel at the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club on Sunday.

Fullerton, who curls out of the Cornwall Curling Club and is the reigning
P.E.I. junior women’s champ, beat clubmate Veronica Smith 9-8 in 11 ends.

“We struggled a little bit with the ice conditions,” said Fullerton. “It was
a little straighter than the rest of the week.

“We weren’t really playing that bad. It was just the other team was making
really good shots when they counted, and not leaving us anything.”

On the men’s side, the Sam Ramsay rink from the Charlottetown Curling Club
beat the Maple Leaf Curling Club’s Matthew MacLean rink to 8-4 in eight ends.

Ramsay, from Summerside, entered the final 4-1 (won-lost). His lone loss came
to MacLean.

“I think a lot of it was just the kind of weight that we played, keeping it
nice and light in parts that were straight and in parts that were curling more,
play a bit more weight,” said Ramsay. “It was just little simple things like try
not to crash on the guards, and just the little things that we’ve been working
on all year.”
