Bronze Medal Game

Pete Fenson and the US men just played a terrific third end, leaving three on the button for a 4-1 lead over Great Britain.

Update: The US blanks the British in the fifth end. At halftime, the US leads the Redcoats 4-2.

Update: They just announced the World Championships will be in Lowell, MA in April.

Update: The US men use the blanked fifth to their advantage, taking two points in the sixth end for a 6-2 lead. They also have the hammer in the all important even ends. They're in good shape with four ends to go for the Bronze.

Update: You can get tickets for the championships in Lowell here. It's April 1-9, so you can watch the first half and still catch opening day.

Update: Pete Fenson makes a good but not great shot with his last stone of the seventh end. He prevents the British from scoring four, but the British Skip Murdoch makes a perfect double take out to score three for his team. It's 6-5 US going to the 8th.

Update: The US and Great Britain trade points in the 8th and 9th ends. The US leads 7-6 and has the hammer in the 10th and final end.

Update: The US is playing a very defensive end in the 10th, running off all the Great Britain guards. The British call a time-out to consider their last shot.

Update: Pete Fenson makes a perfect draw to the button to ehd the match. The US men defeat Great Britain for the Bronze medal. Congratulations to the team for a great tournament!
