Game One
As we told you earlier, Team Callaghan, which includes skip Garth Cudmore, third Joe Callaghan, second Alan Mason; and lead Jeff Hannam, beat the rink of Brock Spence, Jay Carr; Chris Montigny and Mike Montigny by an 8-1 score in the opening game of the best of 3 series on Friday.
Game Two
Spence forced a deciding game Saturday afternoon by taking game 2 on Saturday morning by an 8-4 score, grabbing the lead early, up 6-3 after five ends. A Spence deuce in the 6th made it 8-3. Team Callaghan was kept to a single in the 7th, and Team Spence ran them out of rocks in the 8th for the victory, tieing the series at 1-all.
Game Three
Team Callaghan came out hungry in the sudden death deciding game, scoring a triple in the first end. Team Spence was unable to generate any offense, and conceded after five ends, with the score at 9-0.
Team Callaghan wins the deciding game and will represent the Club at the Provincial Travelers.
