Deputan four clobber curling competition

Chilliwack's Lisa Deputan rink will be in Richmond next month for the BC Senior Women's Curling Championship.

Chilliwack's Lisa Deputan rink booked their tickets to the BC Senior Women's Championship with a B event win at last weekend's Lower Mainland qualifier.

Joined by Janet Klebe (second), Kerri Miller (third) and Laurie Shimizu (lead), Deputan went 4-1 to secure her spot.

The tournament started on a down note when the Chilliwack crew lost their Friday afternoon opener, falling 3-2 to Lynn Noble (Royal City/Qualicum).

Relegated to the B bracket, Deputan started to roll with an 11-3 win over fellow Chilliwackian Joanne Kern.

In her third match, Deputan's group rallied from a 6-4 hole with one in the seventh and two in the eighth, edging Karen Lepine (Langley/Cloverdale) 7-6. Deputan moved into the final with a 6-3 win over Carol McFadden (Royal City).

The Chilliwack four earned sweet revenge in their last match.

Trailing 4-1 through five ends, they scored two in the sixth, two in the seventh and three in the eighth, doubling up Noble 8-4 to take the B event crown.

They'll be in Richmond Feb. 15-21 for the BC Senior Women's Championship.
