The Propeller Brewing Company (men’s) Atlantic Curling Tour even and the SKYY Vodka (women’s) cashspiels wrap up today at the CFB Halifax Curling Club. None of the four PEI teams entered have made it to today’s money round.
Men’s side qualifiers are Ian Fitzner-LeBlanc, Alan O’Leary, Tom Sullivan, Mark Kehoe, Kent Smith, Shea Steele, Chad Stevens, and Brent MacDougall. PEI’s Jamie Newson rink went 2-2, while Blair Weeks was 1-3, and Eddie MacKenzie was 0-4.
On the women’s side, Jocelyn Nix, Christina Black, Marg Cutcliffe, Emily Dwyer, Sara Spafford and Nancy McConnery have qualified. PEI’s Kathy O’Rourke rink finished in a three-way tie for second in their pool at 3-2, but lost to the other teams, Cutcliffe and Spafford, in their round robin encounters, and did not advance. PEI natives Anne Dillon, at 2-3, and Marion MacAulay (0-5), both curling out of Nova Scotia, finished out of the playoffs.
The men’s quarter-finals are at 9 this morning, with the men’s and women’s semi-finals at noon, and the finals at 3 pm.
