\Delta is going to be well-represented on the women’s side of the draw when the 2019 B.C. Junior Curling Championships get underway later this month in Vernon.

At the recent Coastal Playdowns held at the Royal City Curling Club, Delta Thistle’s Team Drexel (Heather Drexel, Elizabeth Bowles, Haylie Farquhar, Hailey Dubois) won the A event to secure its trip to the Okanagan. Meanwhile Tunnel Town’s Team Taylor (Jensen Taylor, Meredith Cole, Keira McCoy, Chelsea Taylor) will be joining them after capturing the “B” Event.

A third entry heading to Vernon is perennial powerhouse Team Daniels which booked its ticket via the B.C. Junior Curling Tour.

The Delta Thistle Club rink features skip Sarah Daniels, Kayla MacMillan, Jessica Humphries and Sarah Token. Daniels’ decorated career includes winning the 2016 provincial championship and going on to finish second at the Canadian Championships. She made her debut at nationals when she was just 14.

Daniels is a two-time winner of Curl B.C.’s Junior Player of the Year Award.

In total, eight rinks will be competing on the women’s side of the championships which get underway on Dec. 27 and concludes on New Year’s Day.

The 2019 Canadian Juniors will take place Jan. 19-27 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
