Ted MacFadyen rink repeats as PEI Masters Men’s Champs

The Ted MacFadyen rink from the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Community Complex had two opportunities today to repeat as PEI Masters (age 60+) Men’s Champs, and, thanks to a tie-breaking four-ender in the seventh, they did it on the first try, beating the Bill Hope squad from the Charlottetown and Cornwall clubs by an 8-4 score this morning at the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O’Leary. MacFadyen had won two sections of the modified triple-knockout draw, giving him a “double-life” in the championship round, taking the title with a win in either game, while Hope would have had to win the first game to force a 2 pm deciding match, which is no longer needed.
