The Aly Jenkins Mixed Doubles Memorial Event took place from October 4th-6th at the Martensville Curling Club.
A total of 18 teams participated in the event with five teams from across Canada, eight Saskatchewan teams, and five international teams.
The winners were vying for the reward of $20,000. The final game came down to Team Koan/Aoki from Japan, (who were last years’ winners) and Team Martin/Laycock from Saskatoon. Martin/Laycock team conceded after 7 ends with Japan up 9 – 2 at the end of 7.
This Mixed Doubles Tournament is a yearly event that honors Aly Jenkins, who was a well-known Saskatchewan curler, that died from complications that arose during the birth of her third child, Sydney, at 30 years old.
Jenkins competed at women’s provincials two years in a row. She played lead for Team Sherry Anderson, which was one shot away from qualifying for the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in the 2018-19 season.
