PEI’s Suzanne Birt team remains undefeated following a 6-5 semi-final win over the defending champion Jennifer Jones team from Winnipeg, and will be taking on Manitoba’s Tracy Fleury squad in the 1:30 pm final of the 15-team Oakville Labour Day Classic at the Oakville Curling Club in Ontario. Jones stole a single in the final end, but needed a deuce to tie. Fleury needed an extra end to shade Woodstock Ontario’s Hollie Duncan foursome 7-6 to advance to the final.
