Mitchell Schut rink goes undefeated to win Wendy’s U16 league

Cornwall’s Mitchell Schut rink went undefeated in six games to come first in the Wendy’s Under 16 developmental league, open to curlers from all clubs, which wrapped up this morning here at the Cornwall Curling Club. The team came from behind in today’s game against their clubmates the Emma Coffin foursome, fighting back from a 3-0 deficit after two ends, to lead by one coming home without hammer, and stole up five points in the final end to lead the series with a point score of 103. Other members of Team Schut are third Colin MacKenzie, second Michael MacEwen, and lead Liam Kelly, with coach Nancy Yeo. Schut took the mic and thanked the organizers and teams for a great event.

Third place honours went to the Rachel MacLean squad, with 76 points, while Team Coffin came fourth, with 59 points. These four teams all were presented with gift certificates for a meal at event sponsor Wendy’s restaurants.
