Bonot, Burgess in tight race for top with Jacobs at Tankard

The Northern Ontario provincial men’s curling championship is starting to take shape, and all four Thunder Bay rinks are still in the hunt.

While every team is still play catch-up with Sault Ste. Marie’s Brad Jacobs, who has raced out to a 4-0 start after beating New Liskeard’s Matt Dumontelle 7-4 in Thursday night’s Draw 3, Thunder Bay’s Trevor Bonot and Al Hackner are nipping at his heels.

Bonot dropped Robbie Gordon 8-6 on Thursday while Hackner rallied late with steals in nine and 10 to eke out a 5-4 win over North Bay’s Jordan Chandler. Both rinks improved to 3-1. 

Bryan Burgess also hit the three-win plateau – albeit with an extra loss – knocking off fellow Thunder Bay skip Jeff Currie 8-5, scoring three in the 10th to seal the victory.
