Nanaimo curling team wins BC Club Challenge

Mar 28, 2019 | 11:01 AM

ABBOTSFORD — A women’s team from the Nanaimo Curling Club has won the 2019 BC Club Challenge.
 
Team Konyer, with Mary Ellen Konyer, Sharon Wright, Karen Hungar and Kellie Rice, finished on top of their pool in a field of 12 rinks.
 
They beat a team from the Comox Valley Curling Club 8-3 in the final Sunday in Abbotsford.
 
That means Konyer’s rink will advance to a national tournament in November, but the details of exactly when and where will be released later.
 
2019 is a special year for the Konyer rink to win the Club Challenge because this year marks the 20th anniversary of the event.
