Mel Bernard rink wins Senior Mixed title

Dec. 14-The Mel Bernard foursome, which includes third Jeanne Duffenais, second Earle Proude, and lead Helen MacDonald, edged defending champions and Silver Fox clubmates the Blair Jay foursome 7-6 on Sunday afternoon to win the 2008-2009 Provincial Senior Mixed Curling Championship. Other members of the Jay team are Barbara Currie, Douglas Simmons and Debbie MacMurdo.

Summerside's Jay beat Cornwall’s Geoff Scutt rink 8-2 in the semi-final on Sunday morning to advance to the 2 pm final against Bernard, who finished atop the round robin standings, with a 4-1 win-loss record, and advanced directly to the final match.  Jay and Scutt both had 3-2 round robin records, but Jay beat Scutt in their exciting round robin encounter on Friday, by stealing an extra-end triple, to take second place honours.

Bob MacWilliams of Cornwall, the 2006 event winner, and Donald Clarey of Montague, finished play at 2-3, with Walter Callaghan of the host club picking up one win against four losses.

Six teams began play on Friday in this event, now in its third year.
