WORLD JUNIOR CUP SELECTION 2010 AT LONDON FAIRMONT



Monday 9:30 PM - Men
There are 6 players vying for 4 medal positions as they enter the last round of eleven. Lots of games and the only thing we know about this group is that the defending champion Dylan Jacobs will play for Gold again.
It speaks highly of the quality of play of the Canadian 2010 World qualifier.
What is unique in this situation is that the top 6 all play each other. No so called easier route to follow to the podium for anyone. You want it, you get it.
If Jon Pituley and Alex Scott win their games and tie on points, Alex moves to the rematch with Dylan basrd on his 2-1 win over Jon in the Round Robin.
However if they should lose , Jon has the number 1 Dylan and Alex the 'smokin' finishing Trevor Whyte, the game of leap frog is in full gear.
And don't forget Malcolm Whyte and Kody Olthof. One of this pair could be in but then again they both could be out.
It is best that to see the math solved, you drop into Fairmont to watch the permutations evolve.
Women
It is a little simpler for the ladies. Defending champion Kelly McKerihen plays a role in the selection of her gold opponent.
Shannon Battles will have to do just that to defeat Kelly who has won 10 straight sets.
Fran Scott can settle the issue with a win over Stephanie Miller and make her point total out of reach but reverse the score and Stephanie opens the gate for herself and Shannon and Lindsay Lefresne.
Perhaps a little simpler then the men but 5 of the 7 women still have a shot at a medal.


Monday 2:30 PM
Well now, this could be a 5 man struggle to play for gold. Malcolm took a big step with a straight set win over Alex Scott and now he gets a chance at Dylan to really stir the stew. Meanwhile Kody has put on his dancing shoes as well. The boys from Sk will be rapping - each other. Very interesting.
Does Kelly get a firmer grasp on the top or will that dandy bowler, Lindsay, from the east get on board the medal ship. Stephanie takes a forced rest but just lingers behind the top spot.

Monday Aug 9
A big match underway in the ladies division. Two of the favourites are battling in this Round Robin 7 clash.
Defending champion Kelly McKerihen and Fran Scott are both chasing gold with hot starts to the competition.
Meanwhile if Malcolm Whtye is looking to climb into contention on the men's side it will have to be over the back of Alex Scott. There is a knot of 3 contenders at this stage at the top with Jon Pituley, Dylan Jacobs, the defending Canadian champion and Scott dancing for the lead position.
