Eddie MacKenzie and his Charlottetown Curling Club Complex won the A section qualifier of the P.E.I. Tankard provincial men’s curling championship at the Crapaud Community Curling Club on Friday.
Rod MacDonald scored singles in the ninth and 10th ends to force the extra end, before MacKenzie scored one with a nose hit for the victory.
“It was on the straight side of the ice so it was a difficult spot, but Eddie threw really good weight and we ended up making the shot,” said second stone Alex MacFadyen of the Charlottetown Curling Complex rink.
The rink, which includes third stone and Summerside native Anson Carmody and lead Sean Ledgerwood, plays MacDonald again in the 1-vs.-2 playoff game on Saturday at 4 p.m.
