Estevan skip Brent Gedak is finding some early success with his new rink.

Gedak’s team made it to the semifinal of the Saskatchewan Men’s Curling Tour stop on the weekend at the Regina Highland Club, winning four matches in a row.

Gedak, who now has third Jason Ackerman, second Derek Owens and lead Curtis Horwath, lost 8-2 to the eventual winner Kody Hartung rink in the semfinal.   

Gedak opened with an 8-1 win over Bienfait’s Shawn Meyer, who was lead on his team last year. The Gedak team then cruised over Wadena’s Scott Comfort with a 9-1 win, and then Lloydminster’s Ryan Deis with a 6-3 win.

In the quarterfinal, Wilkie’s Lloyd Fell lost to Gedak 5-2. That match set up a semifinal with Kody Hartung from Saskatoon. The match was close until the sixth end when Hartung, with the hammer, scored four to blow the game open. Gedak had stolen one in the fifth end leading into the sixth.

The teams were playing for a direct berth into the 2019 SaskTel Men’s Tankard, which will be taking place in Moosomin in February. There are also points to be earned by teams who don’t make it in by winning these events, and Gedak will have unofficially earned five points with this high of a finish.

The next SCT stop will be Nov. 16-18 at Moose Jaw where there will be points available but no direct berth into the Tankard. Estevan hosts the following stop on the tour with Nov. 30-Dec. 2 at the Power Dodge Curling Centre.
