PEI men have an even record, while the women’s rink are still looking for their 1st win at the Travelers Curling Club Championship in Kelowna BC.
The PEI men’s team, skipped by Dennis Watts out of the Charlottetown Curling Complex, had only one game on Tuesday, against Alberta, which they lost by a 5-1 score, giving them a 1-1 win-loss record – they won their opener on Monday 8-1 over Northern Ont. The Island rink takes on Sask. and Nunavut today. Manitoba, Sask., Ont. and NS are currently undefeated on the mens side.
The Sharon Horne-skipped PEI women’s rink from the Western Community Curling Club in Alberton now sit at 0-3, losing their opener 7-3 to Quebec, their next game 5-4 to Alberta, and last night’s match 8-2 to Sask. PEI women play Newfoundland and Labrador, and Northern Ont. today. Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia are still unbeaten in the women’s round robin.
