Provincial curling gold is being brought back to Duncan Curling Club courtesy of skip Carley Sandwith-Craig and her rink of second, Roselyn Craig, third, Marika Von Osch, and lead, Megan Montgomery.

The team took the title at the 2023 BC WomenB次元官网网址檚 Curling Club Championships at the Abbotsford Curling Club March 28-April 2.

B次元官网网址淕oing into the event we knew the competition was going to be tough, and they were,B次元官网网址� said Sandwith-Craig. B次元官网网址淭he field was pretty level and we had to play our best to come out victorious for each game. I think most of our games were decided on the last rock of the game.B次元官网网址�

Sandwith-CraigB次元官网网址檚 squad got underway with a 5-4 victory over Colleen Hannah of the Golden Ears Winter Club. From there the foursome beat Karen Sauer and her rink from the Abbotsford Curling Club by a 7-3 score before dispatching Penny Shantz and the Qualicum Curling Club representatives with two in the eighth end to make it a 7-6 final.

That win gave the Duncan-based team a finals berth where they once again beat island rivals, Team Shantz, this time by a 5-3 score.

The players are no strangers to being at the top of their levels.

Combined, the team boasts 15 previous B.C. titles at various levels, and Roz Craig has earned three Canadian titles, and two world championship titles.

B次元官网网址淢egan, Roz and I have been playing together for two seasons and we brought Marika on board this season to bring her back into the game since she hadnB次元官网网址檛 played in five years or so,B次元官网网址� Sandwith-Craig said.

It was a family affair for the Craig family which had more Craigs curling on the menB次元官网网址檚 side of the event.

Sandwith-CraigB次元官网网址檚 husband Miles Craig was playing on the menB次元官网网址檚 side with his dad, Wes, a famed Cowichan curler in his own right. Wes Craig won the 2023 B.C. Sr. MenB次元官网网址檚 Curling Championships March 22-26, while Miles Craig skipped his way to the 2023 AMJ Campbell B.C. Mixed Championships in Penticton earlier in the month. The two joined forces at the 2023 BC MenB次元官网网址檚 Curling Club Championships at the Abbotsford Curling Club last week to see if they could add another medal to their haul.

Joining the skip Wes, and third, Miles, were second Con Haug and lead Adam Bloch-Hansen. They represented Kerry Park Curling club.

In their first game, CraigB次元官网网址檚 rink met Marpole Curling ClubB次元官网网址檚 Armando Guanzon, winning handily 7-1 in six ends.

They were ousted 8-2 in the second draw, falling to VancouverB次元官网网址檚 Jeff Guignard, before being beaten 7-4 by AbbotsfordB次元官网网址檚 Dayne Gagnon and rink. From there, the Kerry Park team fell 8-5 to Aaron Watson of Chilliwack Curling Club, eliminating them from medal contention.

B次元官网网址淲e didnB次元官网网址檛 play well,B次元官网网址� Miles noted.
