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.
