Three southwest rinks will not be advancing to the Provincial Curling Tankard after losing out at Southerns.

     Herbert's Gin foursome, and Shaunavon's Barry Sonen and Grant Selvig rinks competed for the last four days at Southern Men's Playdowns in Melville.

     The A-qualifier was Glen Despins; B-qualifiers were Randy Bryden and Brent Gedak; and C-qualifiers were Chris Busby and Jamie Schneider.

     Sonen lost in the C event final.  He was one win away from advancing on.
