Round Robin Over, Semi Final Up Next!
While the final three games of the round robin at the 49th Canadian Mixed in Sudbury would not affect the playoff scenarios, play was spirited in Draw 19 this morning.
Nova Scotia’s Chris Sutherland and Newfoundland & Labrador’s Gary Alcock battled for nine ends and were tied at 6 coming home. Alcock made good with his final stone for an entertaining 8-6 win.
Nunavut gave Manitoba all it could handle. Ed Sattelberger had a shot for three in the 7th end that would have tied it up, just missing only scoring only two. Manitoba’s Grassie, the 2009 Mixed champ, blanked the 8th and then scored four points in the 9th to end the game 10-5.
Finally, the Yukon’s Scott Hamilton had one last chance to get his first win but couldn’t solve PEI’s Brett Gallant and lost 10-2.
