Estevan’s Kristy Johnson was able to help the Candace Chisholm rink from Carlyle to a three game winning streak during the provincial Scotties tournament at Melfort last week, but they weren’t able to pull off enough wins to get to the playoffs.
The Chisholm rink lost 8-7 to the Stefanie Lawton rink Friday night in a game that would have sent them to the playoffs. Johnson is lead with second Natalie Bloomfield, third Lana Vey and skip Candace Chisholm.
The rink started off the round robin at the Scotties with a 6-4 loss to eventual provincial champion Sherry Anderson and followed it with a 7-6 loss to the second place Robyn Silvernagle rink. They won three in a row, 8-6 over last year’s provincial champion Penny Barker, 8-5 over Ashley Howard, and 8-1 over former national Scotties champ Amber Holland. They lost their next three in a row, 6-3 to Chantelle Eberle and 9-3 to Nancy Martin before their loss to Lawton.
Chishom’s rink defeated Lawton last month at the Viterra Scotties Last Chance qualifier at the Power Dodge Curling Centre before Lawton got in on the very last chance.
