ESTEVAN - Youth doubles curling was on display at the Power Dodge Curling Centre on Friday and Saturday for the South East District Athletics Association's districts event.

Eight teams were entered in each of the junior and senior age divisions. In each age group, there was a round robin with two pools of four. All teams made the playoffs.

Gladmar Regional School won the senior age group, defeating Lampman School in the final. Oxbow Prairie Horizons School's team 1 defeated Lampman to win the junior division.

Doubles curling has tandems of two as opposed to the conventional teams of four and a variety of different rules designed to speed up the game from a traditional contest.
