Host Cornwall Curling Club teams win both divisions at Maritime Stick Ch’ships

The Maritime Stick Curling Championships, featuring the top curlers from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI in the two-person per team sport of Stick Curling, wrapped up Sunday afternoon at the Cornwall Curling Club, with teams from the host club winning both the Open (any combination of male/female) and Women’s divisions, and also finishing as runners-up in the women’s. 12 Open and an equal number of Women’s teams took part in the annual championship, the location of which rotates around the three Maritime provinces.

(L-R): Paul Arsenault and Vince Fisher, Open Division winners

In the Open Division final, the duo of Vince Fisher and Paul Arsenault stole the last end in a 5-3 decision over the John Marshall/Lowell Jenkins twosome from Nova Scotia, finishing with an overall win-loss record of 6-2, after finishing round-robin play at 3-2. The PEI rink got by the Steve Murray/Harold Smallwood team from New Brunswick 5-3 in the quarter-final round, and edged the Chuck Dyke/Jim Burgess team from Nova Scotia 4-3 in the semis, while Marshall/Jenkins outlasted Montague’s Gordon MacDonald/Bazil Higginbotham twosome 3-2 in their low-scoring semi.
