SUMMERSIDE – The New Brunswick men’s representative got off to a fast start at the 2013 Canadian senior curling championships, and has not looked back.
The Wayne Tallon rink from the Capital Winter Club in Fredericton clinched first place in the round robin on Friday, sending New Brunswick directly to Sunday’s championship game at noon. Tallon, third stone Mike Kennedy, second stone Mike Flannery and lead Wade Blanchard will play the winner of Saturday’s semifinal game between the second- and third-place teams.

“I’m so proud of the way our team has been playing throughout the week, making a lot of great shots,” said Tallon. “When we’ve gotten in trouble, the team has not let down. The way that they have performed is just unbelievable.”
