Can anybody stop the Ontario’s red-hot Greg Balsdon team at the Dominion Curling Club Championship in Richmond, B.C.?
So far five teams have tried, and all of them have come away bloodied and beaten.

Balsdon’s crackerjack unit from Richmond Hill remained the only unbeaten team in the national club championship Thursday afternoon after defeating Donald Clarey’s Prince Edward Island outfit 5-3 to remain atop the Blue Pool and secure at least a tie-breaker position in the race for Saturday’s playoffs. Balsdon has one game left to play and knows the worst that can happen is a tiebreaker.
The top two teams in each pool advance to the playoffs.
The loss effectively knocked Clarey out of the playoff hunt with his third loss of the competition.
