There were three very close games on Sunday morning at the Charlottetown Curling Club as the PEI Under 16 Open Curling Championships came down to its final day, with the second “A” and “B” semi-finals, and the second of three “C” division round-robin championship games.
Team Snow, with Clara Jack in the background
In the “A” division, it was a close battle between the Brayden Snow rink from the host club, and Cornwall’s Clara Jack foursome, with Jack, who gave up four points in the third end, fighting back from a 5-2 deficit to tie the game at 6-6 coming home without hammer, but Snow pulled out the 8-6 win, and is playing the Ella Lenentine rink in the “A” final, while Team Jack takes on Montague’s Samuel Shaw rink in the “A” Bronze Medal game.
In the “B” semi, the Nathaniel Shaw rink from Montague edged the Isaiah Dalton squad from Cornwall 8-7, with Dalton coming within one point after trailing 7-0 after 3 ends. Shaw is now playing Montague’s Sydney Carver team in the “B” final, while Dalton faces Mallory Rochford and her Silver Fox team in the “B” Bronze Medal game.
In the round-robin “C” championship series, the Brock Rochford team from Summerside edged their clubmates the Madalyn Easter foursome 5-4. Rochford and Cornwall’s Luke Butler rink, both 1-1 in the series, are squaring off in the final round-robin game, while Easter finished the series at 0-2.
