Their 2-0 record advanced them into the A Event final on Saturday evening. They lost that game 9-5 to eventual event winner Team Hunter Clawson from the Potomac Curling Club in Laurel Maryland (near Washington DC), dropping them to the Sunday morning B semi-final, which they won, over the Eric Clawson team, also from the Potomac club.
The Lenentine foursome lost the B final to Team Bear of the host Broomstone Curling Club. The game was tied 3-all after four ends, but a 4 point 5th end sealed the 7-5 victory for Team Bear.
The winning Hunter Clawson Team also won the 2014 Optimist U18 International Curling Championships held in British Columbia earlier this year.
Eight junior men’s, and four junior women’s teams took part in the competitive division of this annual junior event at the Broomstones Curling Club.
Way to go our young ladies from The Cornwall Curling Club. You make us very proud.
