Day one is over at the Ferguson-Logan Montague Funeral Home PEI Stick Curling Championships at the Cornwall Curling Club, and six teams are still undefeated in round-robin play, with all teams having played two games.
The defending champions in the five-team Women’s event, the Gloria Clarke and Ruth Stavert twosome from the host club, are off to a flying start, with 9-2 and 12-1 victories over clubmates, including a rare six-ender in their second game.
