Cotter to play Geall in B.C. Men's Curling Page playoff

Vernon rink to face New Westminster squad at Canadian Direct Insurance provincial finals in Nelson

Vernon's Jim Cotter will play New Westminster's Sean Geall in the one-two Page playoff match Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Canadian Direct Insurance B.C. Men's Curling Championships at the Nelson Curling Club.

Cotter, the two-time defending provincial champ, was the first playoff qualifier, going 4-0 to win the A event. Geall qualified out of the B event with only one loss.

The winner advances to Sunday's 4 p.m. provincial final. The loser will face the winner of the matchup between the C event qualifiers, Glen Jackson of Victoria and Dean Joanisse of New Westminster, last year's provincial runner-up.

Geall won the B event qualifier Friday afternoon, 5-1 over Jackson, snapping a 1-1 tie with a deuce with hammer in the ninth and stealing a pair in the 10th.

Jackson won a C event qualifier, 7-4, over clubmate Jason Montgomery while Joanisse scored a pair in the 10th end to knock off Neil Dangerfield of Victoria 5-4 in the other qualifier.
