CAN vs NS continued
>End 8 – Suddenly .. while Colleen Jones was counting 2 .. Jennifer Jones, with even better shots takes out all of the red and brings a score of 4 .. and ends the game! Team Canada will get opportunity to make it a 2-peater
> End 8 – Colleen Jones and Team NS are making their shots ..
> End 6 – Colleen Jones basically missed both of her shots, although had a chance to steal .. it could have been much different with a little less weight. Jennifer Jones had the right weight to final draw to 8ft
