They were the youngest team at last year's B.C. Scotties Tournament of Hearts. They were also one of the best.
Jennifer Fewster and her Prince George Golf and Curling Club mates have every intention of stepping back onto provincial ice this season.
"We'd really like to take another crack at that," said the 26-year-old Fewster, who has younger sister Kristen Fewster at third, Blaine Richards at second and Amber Cheveldave at lead. "We're feeling pretty comfortable this year. It's nice coming into our second year playing together as a team. You already feel like you've worked through all those kinks. We're happy to just be going out there and curling."
At the 2010 Scotties, held last January in Penticton, Fewster went an impressive 6-3 in round robin and finished third out of 10 teams. In playoffs, the P.G. rink met defending champion Marla Mallett and lost 7-3.
This season's B.C. Scotties is Jan. 17-23 in Cloverdale. Fewster and company will have two chances to advance to provincials. Their first opportunity will come next weekend in Summerland, which will host an interior playdown. From that event, the top two teams will move directly to the B.C. championship. A second interior playdown is scheduled for Dec. 17-19 in Williams Lake. Again, the top two rinks will earn provincial berths. Two coastal playdowns are also on the Curl B.C. calendar. They will be held next weekend in Langley and Dec. 17-19 in Comox.
This weekend, the Fewster foursome is in Kamloops, tuning up for the first interior qualifier.
