PEI’s Bob Cameron rink had only one game today at the 47th Canadian Postal  Employees Curling Classic  at the Mayflower Curling Club in Halifax. The team, which has represented PEI three years in a row, and includes Eldon Kilbride (3rd), Mike Bernard (second), and Regan Kenny (lead), lost 9-4 to Alberta’s Mark Pouliot foursome in the afternoon draw. PEI was leading 4-2 after six ends, but the Westerners tied it up with a deuce in seven, and stole a triple in eight and a deuce in the ninth, running PEI out of rocks in the final end for the win.

Cameron, who has a 3-4 win-loss record plays defending champion Maurel Erick of Saskatchewan Thursday morning at 10, Nova Scotia’s Kris Tynski at 2:30 pm, and finishes robin robin play on Friday morning at 10 against Quebec’s Anne Hardy.

Last year’s runner-up rink, skipped by Ron Rosengren of Northern Ontario, remains undefeated, at 7-0, with Quebec close behind at 7-1. Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Ontario all have three losses, while Alberta, PEI, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador all have four. BC and Manitoba are each winless in seven starts.
