Stavert and Stratton repeat as Stick Curling Champions

March 5-The Cornwall Curling Club duo of Ernie Stavert and Sterling Stratton finished round robin play with an 8-1 win-loss record, losing only their opening game, as they repeated as PEI Stick Curling Champions, today at the Western Community Curling Club in Alberton. Two teams, Howard Kerwin and Bob Leard from Montague, and Glen Betts and Joey Ellsworth from the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O'Leary, finished with 7-2 records. When points were compared, Kerwin and Leard finished in second place, while Betts and Ellsworth had to settle for third. Fourth place went to Basil Higginbotham and Gordie MacDonald of Montague with a 5-4 record. Ten teams took part in this event, now in its second year.

In stick curling there are two curlers per team, who deliver their rocks with delivery sticks, with each team member delivering from opposite ends. Sweeping is allowed only from the hog line to the back of the house at the playing end. The two delivering curlers (one from each team) alternately deliver 6 stones each per end, while their teammate skips that end.  Then roles are reversed, and the partners deliver the stones back. All games are six ends. For more information on stick curling, including complete rules of play, visit www.stickcurling.ca.

Info from www.albertoncurlingclub.ca:

The Provincial Stick Curling Championship was held March 4 & 5 at the Alberton Club and 10 teams vied for the trophy of this relatively recent variation on the standard game of curling. Each team has only two players who play six stones over six ends.

The defending champion twosome of Sterling Stratton (L) and Ernie Stavert (R) from the Cornwall Curling Club won again this year. They were presented the trophy by Robert Leard, a director of the PEI Curling Association.

In second place were Howard Kerwin (L) and Robert Leard from the Montague Curling Club. The presentation was made by Audrey Callaghan, a director of the PEI Curling Association and vice-president of the Western Community Curling Club.
Also in the winner's circle was the third place team of Joey Ellsworth (L) of Charlottetown and Glen Betts of O'Leary (R). The presentation was made by Robert Leard.
Special recognition was paid by Robert Leard to "two good sports," Joyce Matthews (L) and Charlene Ashley (R).
