Cornwall Curling Club

Important Notice

The Town of Cornwall has decided to postpone the Renewal Project for the Civic Centre for one year, after telling us it was to start at the end of this curling season.

We are very concerned that this project may be put on the back burner or shelved and never take place. We ask for your support in requesting them to put the project back on track as soon as possible,  by signing the petition which will be available at the Club, and will be remitted to them.  Thank You.

The President and Board of Directors of the Cornwall Curling Club

The PEI curling championship season kicks off this weekend, with the Provincial Senior Mixed, for mixed teams age 50 and over, taking place at the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in Summerside. Five rinks are entered, with three of the teams, including the defending champion Mel Bernard rink, coming from the host club. The other teams from the Fox are skipped by Blair Jay and Harry Williams. The John De Luca foursome are entered from the Cornwall Curling Club, while the Donald Clarey squad from Montague round out the entries.

The teams will play a round robin format, beginning Friday at 5 pm, and wrapping up with the 4 pm Saturday draw.

The top three teams from the round robin will advance to the playoff round, with the second and third place teams playing in the semi-final Sunday morning at 9 am, and the winner of that game meeting the first place team in the final at 1 pm.

Live results will be available at peicurling.com/seniormixed
