Cornwall’s Berry wins A section, Currie and Rhodenizer still alive in C at PEI Senior Women’s in Alberton

Posted on by February 19, 2012

The Shirley Berry rink from the Cornwall and Charlottetown curling clubs captured the A flight of the triple knockout Credit Unions of PEI Provincial Senior Women’s Championships Saturday at the Western Community Curling Club in Alberton, beating the Paula Baglole team from the Silver Fox Curling & Yacht Club in Summerside by a 10-7 score. The Berry foursome, which includes third Sandy Hope, second Shelley Ebbett, and lead Arleen Harris, with coaches Bill Hope and Butch McGee, were trailing 5-2 after four ends, after Baglole stole the first end and a deuce in the second. The teams traded deuces in ends three and four, but Berry took eight points in the next four ends, following a deuce with a stolen single, triple, and deuce to lead 10-5 after eight. Baglole, whose team includes Debbie MacMurdo, Heather Bernard, and Norma Schurman, took a pair in nine, but ran out of rocks in the 10th.

Berry then picked up another come-from-behind win, 7-5 win over Cornwall clubmate Debbie Rhodenizer, in the evening draw, while Baglole lost 10-4 to June Moyaert of Montague, who picked up a five-ender in the fifth, and is now at 3-1.

Berry, who is the current Masters (age 60+) champion and a four time Seniors (50+) champ, now advances to the B final at 11 this morning, against defending champion Moyaert, who is also won the PEI women’s title back in 1988 with her second, Terri Thompson, as skip. Third Sherren MacKinnon and lead Kathy Clarey complete Moyaert’s Seniors rink.

The C semi-finals go this afternoon at 4, with Berry facing the winner of an 11 am game between Baglole and Cornwall’s Karen Currie, and Moyaert taking on the winner of this morning’s contest between Rhodenizer, and Sharon Horne from the host club. The winners of the C semis advance to the C final, Monday morning at 9.

The A, B, and C section winners than play off in the two game championship round, Monday at 3 pm and, if necessary, Tuesday at 2 pm. If a team wins two of the triple knockout sections, they will play in both championship games, and take the title if they win either. If Berry were to win all three sections, the championship round would not be required.

The Senior Women’s champions will join the Senior Men’s winners, the Charlie Wilkinson foursome from Charlottetown, at the Canadian Seniors, March 17-25 in Abbotsford BC.

Posted on by January 30, 2012

Charlottetown’s Mike Gaudet rink beat the Brett Gallant foursome by a 7-5 score tonight at the Cornwall Curling Club to win the PEI Tankard Provincial Men’s Curling Championship. It’s Gaudet’s fourth Tankard, winning as skip in 1994 and 2004, and last year as third for Eddie MacKenzie, who in turn played third for runner-up Gallant this year. Other members of the Gaudet team are Tyler MacKenzie, Tyler Harris, and Sean Clarey.

In tonight’s game, Gallant blanked the first two ends, and opened the scoring with a deuce in the third. Gallant ran into trouble in the next end when he elected to pick a Gaudet stone out from several of his own stones, and missed the mark, handing Gaudet an open hit for three.

Gallant picked up a single in the next end to the the game 3-all at the half. The sixth end was blanked, and Gallant stole a single in the seventh to lead 4-3. Gaudet then manages to remove a Gallant shot stone which was behind cover and touching the four foot, and stays to count two, to take the lead 5-4.

Gallant then makes a tough final shot in end nine, to score one and tie the game at 5-5 by going through a port to remove the Gaudet counter, but lose last rock advantage in the final end, where Gaudet removes the the only Gallant stone in the house with his first skip rock to lie two. Gallant’s final stone is heavy, handing Gaudet, who doesn’t have to throw his final rock, the 7-5 win.

Both teams got to the final with wins over Charlottetown clubmate Rod MacDonald.

The Gaudet rink beat them 9-4 to win the Page 1-2 game and a bye to the final.

Gallant, a former Canadian Junior champion, came from behind to steal a deuce in the last end of the afternoon semi-final over MacDonald, whose last two rocks didn’t perform as expected, giving Gallant a 7-6 win and an opportunity to play in the PEI Tankard final.

The Gaudet foursome now advance to the Tim Hortons Brier, March 3-11 in Saskatoon.

However, the Brett Gallant team scored a deuce in the ninth, and stole another two in the 10th end to win the game 7-6 and advance to the final, tonight at 6:30 here at the Cornwall Curling Club, against the Mike Gaudet squad, also from the Charlottetown Curling Club.

Gallant, a former Canadian Junior champion and World Junior silver medallist, was playing with third Eddie MacKenzie, who skipped last year’s Tankard-winning team, along with Gallant’s long-time teammates Anson Carmody and Alex MacFadyen. Other members of the MacDonald rink were third Kevin Champion, second Mark O’Rourke, and lead Andrew Robinson. Gaudet played third on MacKenzie’s winning team last year, and has a total three Tankards to his credit. His rink includes third Tyler MacKenzie, second Tyler Harris, and lead Sean Clarey.

The winner of this evening’s game will advance to the Tim Hortons Brier, March 3-11 in Saskatoon.
