Hometown advantage is working well for Manitoba, which continues to enhance its positioning for the championship round at the Canadian mixed curling championship.
Colin Kurz and his Winnipeg team is right in the thick of things at the Fort Rouge Curling Club, posting their third straight victory Wednesday afternoon at the Fort Rouge Curling Club.
Manitoba scored a three-ender in the first end en route to a 6-2 triumph over Newfoundland-Labrador in the afternoon draw to improve to 4-2. Kurz’s foursome, with third Megan Walter, second Brendan Bilawka and lead Sara Oliver, have a share of second place in the standings of Pool A. Kurz’s crew has also earned victories over Northern Ontario, Yukon and Nunavut, while losing to first-place Quebec and Saskatchewan.
The 14-team event has split into two pools of seven teams. The top four teams in each pool advance to the championship pool and will play all four surviving teams from the opposite pool. Manitoba crosses over to play B.C., Alberta, Ontario and Nova Scotia.
Four teams make Saturday’s semifinals. The gold-medal game is set for Saturday afternoon.
