It will be defending champion Rod MacDonald and his Charlottetown team taking on six-time champion Ted MacFadyen from the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in the 7 pm men’s final of the Credit Unions of PEI Provincial Seniors curling championships at the Cornwall Curling Club.
MacFadyen won the semi-final this afternoon against Bill Hope and his Silver Fox/Cornwall team by an 8-2 score in five ends, taking four points in the second end, stealing a single in the third, and taking a triple in the fifth to put the game out of reach for the Hope squad.

The women’s semifinal game was much closer, with Jennifer Scott and her Montague squad drawing to the four foot with their last shot for a 6-5 win over Cornwall’s Karen Currie team. Scott now faces first place Shirley Berry and her Cornwall and Silver Fox team in the 7 pm final.
Currie fought back to tie the game coming home after giving up a four point 5th end to trail 5-2, and was lying one behind cover coming home, but Scott made a draw to the four foot for the win.
