Defending-champion Kim Dolan of the Charlottetown Curling Complex scored three with the hammer in the 10th end to outlast clubmate Kathy O’Rourke 9-6 in the C section semifinal on Sunday morning, and stay alive in the modified triple-knockout format. Dolan, who is 3-2, will now face Birt in the C section final at the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in Summerside on Sunday at 3 p.m.
O’Rourke (2-2) and Birt (2-1) have already guaranteed berths in Monday’s championship round by winning the A and B sections. If Birt wins the C section, O’Rourke will have to defeat her twice on Monday.
If Dolan wins the C section, she and O’Rourke will meet at 1 p.m., and the winner will face Birt in the final at 6 p.m. If there are three different section winners, Birt will receive a bye to the final because she would have appeared in the most finals.
