The reigning world junior champion Kaitlyn Jones rink from Halifax, which includes PEI’s Lauren Lenentine at third stone, has repeated as Nova Scotia Junior Women’s champions, beating the Isabelle Ladouceur rink from Sackville 10-3 Sunday evening in the first of two possible finals. Because Jones had won both the A and C divisions of the modified triple knockout draw, she only needed to win the first game to be declared champion.

The NS Junior Men’s championship has come down to one deciding game at 8:30 this morning between the Matthew Manual squad from Halifax and the Graham Weagle foursome from Chester. Weagle won two of the three modified triple knockout sections, and could have wrapped up the series with the first championship game last night, but lost 8-4, to force this morning’s sudden-death final.
In New Brunswick, PEI’s Alex Gallant plays lead on the winning Junior Men’s team, skipped by Jack Smeltzer out of Fredericton’s Capital Winter Club, who beat Team Liam Marin from Saint John 9-6 in the final. Smeltzer had won two of the modified triple knockout sections, and wrapped things up Sunday afternoon by winning the first game.

It took an extra end, but Team Justine Comeau of Fredericton are headed to their 4th Canadian Junior Championships with a Sunday morning win over Team Erica Cluff of Woodstock. Comeau won all three modified triple knockout sections, so a championship round was not needed.
The Lauren Ferguson and Tyler Smith rinks swept their way to the Pepsi provincial junior curling championships at the Charlottetown Curling Complex on Sunday morning.
Ferguson and Smith both won their respective C section finals to sweep all three sections to claim the titles while going undefeated. If a team won all three sections – A, B and C – they were declared champions, resulting in no championship round.

The “B” finals of the modified triple knockout draw are set for 9 am Saturday at the Pepsi Provincial Junior (U21) Curling Championships at the Charlottetown Curling Club, and the “A” section winners Lauren Ferguson from Cornwall, and Tyler Smith from Charlottetown are still undefeated and will be in that game. If either team wins their second section, they will have a big advantage in their respective Sunday championship round, as they could win the event with a win in either of those two games, while their opponent would have to win both. Should either team win all three sections, their championship round would not be required.
Team Ferguson during the officials’ briefing
After winning the A final against Rachel MacLean this morning, Ferguson then beat the Sydney Howatt team 10-3 this evening to go to a 4-0 win-loss record and advance to the junior women’s B final, also against MacLean, at 9 am Saturday.MacLean beat Emily Sanderson 10-4 this evening to advance to the B final.

Following this morning’s “A” finals at the Pepsi Provincial Junior (U21) Curling Championships at the Charlottetown Curling Complex, the first of a possible total of three qualifying teams for the junior men’s and women’s championship rounds on Sunday have now been determined.
Tyler Smith
Lauren Ferguson
The Tyler Smith foursome from the host club won the junior men’s “A” qualifier with an 8-1 victory in six ends over the Brayden Snow foursome from the Silver Fox in Summerside, while the Lauren Ferguson squad were tied with their Cornwall clubmates the Rachel MacLean team after seven ends, but a steal of four in the eighth gave Ferguson the advantage, and she went on to win 7-4.
Play continues with “B” section games at 2 pm. Ferguson and Smith also get to play in the “B” section in this modified triple knockout format and, if they win their games at 7 pm, will play in the B finals at 9 am on Saturday. If a team wins two sections, they will have a “double life” and have to be beaten twice in the championship round on Sunday. If Ferguson or Smith were to win all three sections, they would be declared the champion without the Sunday playoff round.
