Each of the top five seeds cruised to victory on Day 1 of the Manitoba men’s provincial curling championship at Stride Place in Portage la Prairie.
The tournament’s top-ranked team, Reid Carruthers of Winnipeg made quick work of Neepawa’s Sean Boyle in an 11-1 final in five ends. Jordon McDonald’s young squad out of Assiniboine looked the part of a second seed in a 10-2 decision over Burntwood’s Grant Brown that needed seven ends.
Meanwhile, the third seed, Fort Rouge’s Braden Calvert rolled to a 7-2 victory in eight ends over Robin Nelson of Granite, while Jacques Gauthier’s three-legged squad from West St. Paul triumphed 6-2 in eight ends over Mike Mahon of Granite.
Assiniboine’s Brett Walter, the fifth seed in the event, also needed eight ends in a 9-4 win over Stefan Gudmundson of Steinbach.
Four rinks were eliminated from the 32-team modified double-knockout championship Wednesday evening, though the final draw of the day was not complete by press time. Thursday’s draws go at 8:30 a.m., 12:15 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.
Select games are broadcast on CurlManitoba’s YouTube channel.
