Jan. 6-The eighth end proved crucial in both games tonight in the Curl PEI/Pepsi Provincial Junior Curling Championships, at the Cornwall Curling Club, giving both the Tyler Smith and Veronica Smith rinks from the host club the edge in their games against the undefeated Christopher Gallant and Amanda MacLean teams from Charlottetown and Cornwall respectively.

Fourteen year old Tyler Smith, who finished round robin play with a 3-3 win-loss record, and was playing his third game of the day after winning a quarter-final and a semi-final, had a slim 3-2 lead going into the eighth, against Gallant, who finished round robin play with a spotless 6-0 record and had a bye to the final when, with Gallant lying behind one behind a Smith guard with another Gallant rock partially covering it as well, Smith attempted, and made, a tricky raise on his guard to knock out the Gallant counter and hang around for a triple. Gallant’s final shot in the ninth end rolled out, and it was handshake time, with a 6-2 final score.

The split is successful – Smith counts five!

Eighteen year old Veronica Smith’s game was tied at 4 going into the eighth, where, going into her last shot she was lying three, with another rock just inches from the rings. She attempted to split that rock onto the house and roll her shooter in as well. The rock was a bit heavy, but both stones managed to stay in the rings, and she counted five. MacLean was kept to a single in the ninth, and Smith ran her out of rocks in the 10th, for a 9-5 final score.

The Tyler Smith team includes third Alex Sutherland, second Alex Jenkins, and first stone Jonathan Schut,, with coaches Allan Campbell and Kevin Smith. Tyler, who skipped the 2011 PEI Canada Games men’s rink, and last year’s Under 16 PEI championship team, doubled the Cody Dixon rink from Montague 8-4 in this afternoon’s semi-final, and edged the Matthew MacLean rink from the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O’Leary 9-8 in an extra end in the morning quarter-final. Gallant, along with third Kyle Holland, and lead Andrew Cameron were on last year’s winning rink, skipped by Alex Matters, who is not in the event this year. Taylor McInnis joined the Gallant rink at second stone this season. The team is coached by Peter Gallant, Christopher’s father. Smith and Dixon, MacLean,Shawn Pitre of Charlottetown, and Alex MacFadyen of Summerside all finished round robin play with 3-3 win-loss records. Draw to the button results, followed by a tie breaker game and two quarter-final games were used to determine the teams in the semi-final. Gallant beat Smith 4-2 in their round robin encounter.
