It wasn鈥檛 precisely the colour they were aiming for, but 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Rob Koffski rink still brought home some hardware from the in Cloverdale and White Rock.

The 91大黄鸭 Curling Club foursome defeated Manitoba 3-1 in Sunday鈥檚 bronze medal game at the Peach Arch Curling Club.

The provincial silver medalists and the host team for nationals, Koffski, third Pat Ryan, second Randy Nelson and lead Glen Brennan finished the competition with a 7-3 record.

Alberta鈥檚 Mickey Pendergast, who posted a perfect 10-0 record, captured the Canadian title with an 8-2 victory over B.C.鈥檚 Craig Lepine in the final.

鈥淲e were obviously shooting for gold, that鈥檚 what we had mind, but we came up a little short,鈥� said Koffski. 鈥淎lberta played really well, they went unbeaten all week, so they deserved it.

鈥淲e took a run at it and didn鈥檛 quite get there, but all in all we鈥檙e happy to come home with a medal.鈥�

The 91大黄鸭 team鈥檚 bid for a spot in the final was by denied in the semifinals by the Lepine rink with a 7-2 loss.
