MacKay rink picks up quick win to move into PEI Masters women’s lead. Photo gallery from this morning.

The Diane MacKay rink from Charlottetown and Cornwall didn’t have to play the second half of their game this morning, after blanking Marg Nowlan and her Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club rink 9-0, and moves into the lead in the women’s division of the PEI Masters Championship being played at the Cornwall Curling Club, with a 2-0 win-loss record.

MacKay picked up a point with hammer in the first end, and stole the next two to lead 3-0 after three ends. She then stole six points in the fourth end, and the Nowlan team called it quits at the half time break.

Carol Sweetapple of Cornwall and Montague’s Sherren MacKinnon bounced back from opening day losses with wins this morning, and join Nowlan and defending champion Shirley Berry  at 1-1. Cornwall’s Ruth Stavert rink were looking good for their first win this morning, up 6-3 after six ends over MacKinnon, but the Montague rink scored a deuce in the seventh, and stole another pair in the final end to win 7-6. Berry and her combined Cornwall/Silver Fox team was also ahead after six, by a 7-6 score, but Cornwall’s Carol Sweetapple rebounded with a deuce and a stolen single for a 9-7 win.

The men took to the ice at 12 noon, and another women’s draw follows at 3 pm.
