The first of the three modified triple knockout section winners was determined in the 1:15 pm Saturday “A” section final at the PEI Mixed Doubles Curling Championship at the Silver Fox Curling Club in Summerside, with 17 teams, from the Charlottetown, Cornwall, Crapaud, and Silver Fox curling clubs, taking part. The host club couple of Jenny and Edward White didn’t get on the scoreboard until the fourth end of the game against the Chase MacMillan and Rachel MacLean junior duo from Cornwall, who had built up a 4-0 lead, but Team White took control with a deuce in end four, followed by steals of 3, 1, and 2 points, and ended up with an 8-4 win.

Both teams now drop down to compete in the “B” section semi-finals at 9:30 am Sunday, with the Whites taking on the Cornwall duo of Liam Kelly and Kristie Rogers, and MacMillan/MacLean facing the Robbie Doherty/Amanda Power twosome from Charlottetown. Kelly/Rogers downed Crapaud’s Nick Blanchard/Stephanie Schnare pair 10-1 later on Saturday, taking 5 of those points in the opening end, while Doherty/Power beat Cornwall’s Calvin Smith and Katelyn Burgoyne team, aided by a steal of four in the 3rd end, to advance to the “B” semi. The semi-final winners square off in the “B” final at 12:45 pm Sunday.

The “C final goes 9:30 am Monday, following 4:30 pm Sunday semis,dddd followed by the championship round later on Monday (unless Team White captures all three section finals)
