B.C. CURLING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Brown’s hopes to repeat as B.C. champion dashed

Jan 7, 2022 | 10:27 PM

KAMLOOPS — Corryn Brown’s bid to repeat as B.C. champion is over.

The Kamloops rink dropped an 8-7 decision on Friday night to Sarah Wark and has been knocked out of the B.C. curling championships.

After giving up a steal in the third, Brown rebounded with a single to make it a 2-1 game. The teams traded deuces in the fifth and sixth ends before Brown scored a triple in the eighth to go ahead 6-5. However, Wark responded with three of her own to take the lead — a lead she wouldn’t relinquish.

The Wark rink, which features Kamloops natives Karla Thompson and Amanda Guido, will now play Mary-Anne Arsenault in the semi-final on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Brown had represented B.C. at the last two Scotties, winning the provincials in 2020 and receiving an automatic berth after the 2021 tournament in Kamloops was cancelled.
