The Masters Championship for men 60 years and<br />
over was established back in 1982. It originally was<br />
called the A.A. Alex Williamson Memorial Shield in<br />
honour of a good friend of curling and the long time<br />
Secretary Treasurer of the <strong>Association</strong>.<br />
In 1997-98, <strong>Manitoba</strong>’s Credit Unions became<br />
sponsors for the championship and it was named<br />
the <strong>Manitoba</strong>’s Credit Unions Masters Provincial<br />
Championship.<br />
In addition to the trophy the winner and runner-up<br />
receive individual plaques. The winners also receive the<br />
<strong>Manitoba</strong> bison crests, provincial jackets and shirts, a<br />
travel grant and a banner to hang in their club.<br />
The winner of the <strong>Manitoba</strong>’s Credit Union<br />
Masters Provincial Championship represents<br />
<strong>Manitoba</strong> at the Canadian Open Masters<br />
Championship.<br />
Last year’s championship was played at the Swan<br />
Lake <strong>Curling</strong> Club, where the Ron Westcott team<br />
from the Fort Rouge <strong>Curling</strong> Club defeated the<br />
Murray Duncan team from the Virden <strong>Curling</strong> Club<br />
to claim the Masters championship. Ron Westcott<br />
went on to the Canadian Open Championship held<br />
in Montreal, Quebec where they finished the round<br />
robin with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss in their pool.<br />
This gave them a first place finish and a spot in the<br />
semi-final game against Quebec. They lost to Quebec<br />
by a score of 5-4 and dropped to play Saskatchewan<br />
in the bronze medal game. They defeated<br />
Saskatchewan 6-3 to earn the bronze medal.<br />
