(UPDATED) Steen Sigurdson (Deer Lodge), Hayden Forrester (Fort Rouge), Darren Perche (Charleswood) and Devon Wiebe (Charleswood) have won the four remaining Winnipeg Viterra Berths while Jeremy Sundell (Holland) has won the first of the available berths in Clearwater.

Sundell will skip the first provincial entry from Holland in many years after a shutout Sunday morning win over Dean North, Carman.

The Sigurdson victory over Travis Bale (Ft Rouge) came down to the final stone. Bale had made a hit past a centre guard, facing two, to score a single on the ninth end and come home tied 4-4. Sigurdson was able to keep the front clear on the tenth and when Bale slid too deep with his last rock, Sigurdson had a last stone draw to backing for the 5-4 win.

The two Charleswood teams both had short games Sunday. Darren Perche and his brothers were up 6-2 playing the seventh end. Facing three, Brad Micholson (Deer Lodge) was unable to navigate a narrow port and the steal ended the game at 9-2.

Devon Wiebe and his team, led Mike Siwicki (Granite) 5-0 playing the sixth and a steal of two more ended that game.

Forrester, skipping the Cyrus Brandt entry, posted a five on the sixth end to eliminate Richard Muntain (St Vital).

The Brandon and Dauphin curling clubs both gained a second entrant for Stonewall in the third game played in each of the two playoffs.

In Virden, Steve Irwin (Brandon) defeated Kelly Marnoch (Carberry) 6-5. Irwin joins Cale Dunbar.

In Dauphin, Glenn Toews (Dauphin) beat Kyle Forsyth (Dauphin) 11-9. Toews joins Greg Todoruk.

In Gimli, Justin Richter (Beausejour) beat Wayne Ewasko (Beausejour) 9-6

In Clearwater, Dean North (Carman) defeated Mitch Titchkosky (Morden) 7-6 and Jesse Janz (Baldur) bested Ryan Hyde (Portage) 9-4.

(SATURDAY) BLANCHARD-BLANCHARD WIN VITERRA BERTH: The father-son combo of Greg & Derek Blanchard, following a long tradition of dad calling the game & throwing first while son throw the finals stones, have won an invitation to compete in the Viterra Championship in Stonewall in February.

Playing on a team listed as Joey Witherspoon (AMCC) but with Dan Gagne and Taylor McIntyre on the ice for the berth win, the Blanchard team gave up a four early but fought back to steal one on the ninth to take a 6-5 lead over Travis Bale (Ft Rouge).

Blanchard (the younger) made a last rock draw to bite the button coming home. It was a straight spot in the ice and Bale needed to squeak past a centre line guard to nose the counter straight back past a rock of his own in the back four foot circle. It didn’t curl up enough and Blanchard stole another for a 7-5 berth win.

Also at Deer Lodge, Daniel Birchard with long time teammates Kelly Fordyce and Andrew Peck posted an 8-3 berth win over Darren Perche (Charleswood). Brody Moore, nursing a sore knee provided moral support from the seating lobby.

A third Winnipeg berth was awarded Saturday as well. Thomas McGillivary (St. Vital) beat Devon Wiebe (Charleswood) 10-6 in that berth game.

In Virden, Jace Freeman-Virden (7-6 over Kelly Marnoch-Carberry) and Cale Dunbar-Brandon (8-5 over Steve Irwin-Brandon) won the two berths available Saturday.

In Dauphin, Greg Todoruk-Dauphin (9-4 over Kyle Forsyth-Dauphin) and Jeff Stewart-Gladstone (7-6 over Glenn Toews-Dauphin) won berths.

In LaSalle, Mark Lowdon-LaSalle beat Randy Neufeld-LaSalle 9-6 and 7-5 to win the best of three berth playoff.

In Gimli, Emerson Klimpke-Stonewall (9-3 over Justin Richter-Beausejour) and Justin Reynolds-Winnipeg Beach (7-2 over Wayne Ewasko-Beausejour) won two of the available Interlake berths.

All three berths in the playoff at Clearwater will be won on Sunday along with the final berth in Virden, Dauphin and Beausejour and four more at Deer Lodge.
