On Saturday afternoon the Silver Fox men’s team skipped by Darren Higgins, captured the first of three modified triple knockout qualifier games for the championship round with a 9-5 win over the Crapaud team, captained by Alan Inman. Crapaud took singles in the first two ends, but the Silver Fox took four points in the third. The teams traded deuces, but a triple steal in the sixth helped seal the win for the Summerside squad. In other games, Cornwall, skipped by Robbie Doherty, was leading 8-5 after six ends against the 2020 champs, skipped by Ed White out of the Silver Fox, but White took a triple and recorded a single for a 9-8 come-from-behind win. In other games, Montague, skipped by Matthew MacDonald, beat Phil McInnis’ Charlottetown rink 7-4, and Souris was eliminated in a close 6-5 loss to the Maple Leaf club.
In the Women’s Championship in Crapaud, the 2020 champs, skipped by Veronica Smith out of the Silver Fox won the battle of undefeated teams, stealing the extra end to get by the Shelly Bradley rink representing the Charlottetown Curling Club, by a 6-5 score to move to a 3-0 win-loss record in the round robin, while Charlottetown goes to 2-1. In other games, Montague, skipped by Lynn Anne Brousseau, improved to 2-1 with a 7-4 win over Crapaud (0-3), skipped by Amanda Holm, while Cornwall, skipped by Susan Dowling-Shaw, and the Silver Fox, skipped by Jenny White, both sit at 1-2 following an 8-5 win by the Summerside foursome.
