Pinkney and her Truro Curling Club rink edged P.E.I.’s Nola Murphy foursome from the host Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club 11-8 in Wednesday’s noon-hour draw to improve to 9-0 (won-lost). Three teams – Quebec’s Catherine Derick, Alberta’s Deb Santos and Manitoba’s Lois Fowler – are tied for second place at 6-3. All 12 women’s teams have two round-robin games remaining.
