Heidi Hanlon of Saint John won the other quarter-final, 6-3 over Shelly Graham of Fredericton. Hanlon takes on Sylvie Robichaud of Curl Moncton in one of the noon semis, while Gamble faces another Monctonian, Denise Nowlan, in the other. The final is at 3 pm.
Over in the men’s section, the semis will see Quebec’s Jean-Michel Menard play Mike Kennedy, while James Grattan faces Stuart Thompson. PEI’s Tyler Harris finished with a 2-3 win-loss record, just out of the playoffs.
