Carruthers Wins MNP Provincial Mixed
(posted April 3, 2007)
Monday April 2nd was Championship day at the Deer
Lodge Curling Club.
The 9:30 a.m. Semi Final matched Sean Grassie's foursome from Deer
Lodge and David Hamblin from Beausejour. Grassie was
leading by one
after six ends when he put 4 up on the board in seven to take a
commanding 8 - 3 lead. Hamblin conceded at the end of eight
ends.
This set up a rematch of Grassie and Carruthers in the Championship
Final.
The Final at 1:30 p.m. was all we had hoped it would be. The two
teams
had finished atop their groups in Round Robin play and proved evenly
matched in the 1 vrs 1 Page Playoff game the
previous evening. Either team would make a fine representative
for the province.
The Final was a tight game with few points up on the board. The
game
was tied at one at the end of six. The seventh was long and complicated
with many rocks in play. Grassie eventually stole one to go up 2
-1.
In the eighth Carruthers responded with two to take the lead at 3 -
2.
The ninth was blanked. In the tenth, Carruthers was counting 3
with a
cluster of rocks when Grassie threw his final stone. Rather than
draw
to force an extra end Grassie chose to go for a triple and count two
for the win. Sean had made a triple and several doubles earlier
in the
game. After the rocks settled one of Carruthers' was still shot
giving
Reid the championship with a 4 -2 final score.
Skip Reid Carruthers, third Theresa Cannon, second Jason Gunnlaugson,
lead Sarah Wazney and coach Greg Wazney received the MNP trophy, their
provincial jackets and crests at the closing ceremonies immediately
after the game. Photo includes MNP representative Kim
Wentz to the
