It was a tale of two Scotties for Alberta’s rinks this week.

Selena Sturmay and her rink have packed their bags and are headed home for Edmonton.

Meanwhile, Calgary’s Kayla Skrlik and her rink from the Garrison Club are in the playoffs.

Skrlik took on Nunavut Thursday afternoon, a team that was reduced to three players because of illness.

Leading 4-2 in the seventh end, Skrlik scored two more to take commanding 6-2 lead, and eventually won 7-4.

They completed the round robin with a 6-2 record.

The top three teams in each pool advance to compete for four Page playoff berths. Sunday’s winner represents Canada at next month’s world championship.
