In tiebreaker play this morning, Cornwall’s Jeff Taylor rink edged the Matthew MacLean foursome from O’Leary 6-5 in an extra end to advance to this afternoon’s final against Cornwall’s Tyler Smith rink.

In this morning’s game, Taylor blanked the first end, recorded a double in the second, and stole a single in the third to lead 3-0. MacLean tied it up with a deuce in the fourth, and stole a single in the sixth. Taylor moved ahead with a pair in the seventh, and MacLean came back with two of his own in the eighth to tie the game at 5-all, and force an extra end, where Taylor, with hammer, scored the winning point.

The winner of this afternoon’s game will advance to the Canada Games,February 11-27 2011 in Halifax. The Mayflower Curling Club is the curling venue.
