Several of Cornwall’s junior curling teams were in action this weekend at the PEI U16 Championships – with Cornwall teams sweeping the top three spots!

The team of Veronica Pater, Kenna Warnell, Sophie Gallant, and Gracie MacIntyre (coached by David Murphy) cruised to the victory Sunday at the Montague Curling Club, maintaining their undefeated record.

The team of Grace Myers, Greta Edgett Gallant, Norah MacKinnon, and Lily Whalley (coached by Darren Gallant), won the silver medals.

Rounding out the podium Kolin Beaton, Owen Milton, Ben Bradley, and Kane MacKinnon (coached by Shaun MacArthur) took home the bronze medals. 

Teams Savill and Landry, also from the club, placed 6th and 7th in the event as well. 

Also presented during the closing ceremonies were the True Sport Award and the Coach Award. 

The True Sport Award is voted on by the curlers and recognizes a curler who brings the True Sport principles to life while competing.  This year U16 True Sport recipient was Greta Edgett Gallant, third for Team Myers.

The Coach Award is voted on by the coaches to recognize a coach who exemplifies the the attributes of coaching.  This year’s U16 Coach Award recipient was David Murphy, coach of Team Pater.

Great job to everyone involved – the future of curling in Cornwall is looking GREAT!
