By: Dylan Chenier Tanner Horgan, the defending SuperSpiel winning skip, booked his Kingston-based team a spot in the quarterfinals, after Steve Irwin 8-6 in a C-Side qualifier on Sunday night. The draw opened with Irwin scoring two in the second end, after blanking in the first Team Horgan, competing this weekend with third Jake Horgan, second Wes Forget, and lead Scott Chadwick then took the lead scoring three points in the third end. However, Irwin answered right back in the fourth, putting up an impressive four points on the board. The rink from Brandon, Manitoba led 6-3 at the break. In the fifth end, Team Horgan would start to regain control by scoring two, cutting into Irwin's lead 6-5. Horgan's rink would then put up three consecutive stolen points, ultimately taking the win 8-6 after eight ends. The victory officially puts Team Horgan into the quarterfinals, which are set to take place Monday at 12:00 PM CT. With their loss, Team Irwin has officially been eliminated from the triple knockout event. Horgan's quarterfinal opponents will be decided after play wraps up on Sunday night.
