scotties-2012-women

Three teams out of the original four team field still remain in contention at the PEI Scotties, taking place at the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in Summerside. Last year’s champion, Kim Dolan, staved off elimination this morning by scoring three points in the final end of her game against Kathy O’Rourke, winning 9-6 and gaining a berth in the C final of the modified triple knockout at 3 pm against Suzanne Birt.  Birt won the B event, while O’Rourke took the A.

If  the Birt rink wins the C final, they will have an advantage in the two game championship round on Monday at 1 and 6 pm, as they will win the title if they take either game, while their opponent would have to win both. If Dolan wins this afternoon, Birt would still have an advantage, as all three teams would advance to the Monday championship round, with Dolan and O’Rourke squaring off at 1, and the winner facing Birt in the championship game at 6. According to the rules, Birt would get the bye to the final game as she would have competed in all three qualifiers.

Here’s the game story from this morning’s C semi:
End 10: Dolan taps back O’Rourke to get 3. Dolan 9 O’Rourke 6 Final. Dolan stays alive, advances to 3 pm C final vs Birt.
