The O’Connor Glass Provincial 15 and Under Curling Championships are scheduled to wrap up today at the Crapaud Community Curling Club, with the semi-finals at 2:30 pm and the finals at 6 this evening. Only one tiebreaker was needed following round robin play, between Alex MacFadyen of Summerside’s Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club and Leslie Noye from the Western Community Curling Club on the boys side, and it was played at 9:30 Friday night in advance of the impending weather conditions, with MacFadyen coming back from a 5-4 deficit to pick up 3 in the 7th and win 7-6.
Two boys rinks, skipped by Tyler Smith with players from Crapaud and Charlottetown, and by Justin Campbell from the Fox, finished round robin play with 3-0 win-loss records, with MacFadyen, and Brooks Roche of Montague coming second in their pools at 2-1. The 2:30 pm semis see Smith take on MacFadyen and Campbell play Roche, with the winners advancing to the 6 pm final.
On the girl’s side, the Jenny McLean rink from Summerside were first after the round robin with a 3-0 record, while Kaleigh MacKay (Silver Fox/Crapaud) and Rachel O’Connor (Cornwall) were next at 2-1. These rinks, plus the Lauren Moeirke team who were second in the A pool at 1-2, now advance to the 2:30 pm semis, with O’Connor playing MacKay and Moerike facing McLean, with the winners going to the 6 pm final.
Nine boys and six girls rinks took part. The KFC 12 and Under goes Sunday at the same club.
