The Jennifer Fewster and Patti Knezevic rinks didn't get the start they were aiming for at provincials.
Monday at the Cloverdale Curling Club, host venue of the B.C. Scotties Tournament of Hearts women's provincial curling championship, Fewster lost her opening game 6-4 to Rosalyn Craig of Duncan. A few sheets away, Knezevic fell 7-3 to Kelowna's Kelly Scott.
In the Fewster-Craig game, the score was tied 3-3 after six ends. After a blank by Craig in the seventh, she scored three points in the eighth and that proved to be decisive.
In Knezevic's duel with Scott, she was down just 3-2 after seven ends but Scott put up four points in the eighth and suddenly had victory within her reach. Knezevic answered with a single point in the ninth end.
