The Lauren Ferguson rink from the Silver Fox Curling & Yacht Club in Summerside captured first place at the KFC Provincial Under 13 Curling Championship this afternoon at the Cornwall Curling Club, winning the Page A vs B game by an 8-7 score over their clubmates, the Connor Lilly team. The Ferguson foursome, which includes 3rd Sierra Clyke, second Jordan Dunphy-Condon, and lead Olivia Barbour, and is coached by Shelley MacFadyen, scored triples in the first two ends for a 6-0 lead, but Lilly pulled ahead with a single, a stolen double, and a stolen four point end to lead 7-6 coming home in the six end contest. Ferguson scored a deuce in the final end to pull out the win. Other members of the runner-up Lilly squad are AJ Cahill at third stone, Colin MacKenzie-MacLeod at second, and lead Draven Kowalski.
