A 9-3 Saturday afternoon win put Cornwall’s Mitchell Schut team, with a 2-2 win-loss record, into the 9:15 am semi-finals in the Under 18 Harvest Spiel at the Mayflower Curling Club in Halifax. The PEI rink won that game 9-1 in six ends against Ryan Smith of Halifax, and are now looking for a repeat win in the Boy’s event championship, which goes at 1:15 against the Nick Mosher squad from Halifax.

PEI native Lauren Ferguson, now curling out of the Halifax Curling Club, is skipping a team which includes Cate Fitzgerald from her U21 rink (which is skipped by Taylour Stevens), and advanced to the Sunday morning Girls’ semis, sporting a 3-1 win-loss record. Ferguson won that game 6-2 over Allyson MacNutt of Truro, and now squares off against Celia Evans of Oromocto NB in the 1:15 pm Girls’ final

Team Schut also includes Chase MacMillan, Cruz Pineau, and Liam Kelly, and are the defending champions in the Boys’ event, going undefeated last year.

(L-R) Coach Brenda MacMillan, skip Mitchell Schut, Chase MacMillan, Cruz Pineau, and Liam Kelly in the winner’s circle at last season’s event.

Eight teams are entered in this year’s Boys’ event, with 12 in the Girls’.
