Julien Gaudin rink from Charlottetown wins Cornwall’s first Masters Plus bonspiel

Sixteen teams representing ten curling clubs from the three Maritime provinces took part in the Cornwall Curling Club’s first Masters Plus Bonspiel on Thursday and Friday. Masters Plus has three curlers on a team age 60 and over, and one player at least 55 years old. Off-Island teams were from CFB Halifax, Antigonish, Truro, Sackville and Moncton.

A points system was used to determine the final standings. The Julien Gaudin rink from the Charlottetown Curling Complex, which includes third Cathy Dillon, second Wayne Arsenault, and lead Shoji Yamamoto finished in first place, with 57 points. Next was the host club rink skipped by Bob MacWilliams, with 51 points. Rounding out the MacWilliams squad were John Berry, Roy Coffin, and Jim Farquharson. Third place went to the Judy Burgess rink from Truro, with 48 points, followed closely by Cornwall’s Paul Arsenault team, with 47. Rounding out the top six are the Bill Lutes foursome from Moncton with 44 points, and Cornwall’s Shirley Berry rink, with 42.

Organizers report that feedback from the participants was great, and they hope to make it an annual event.
