Team Sutton brought the hammer and nail in their arsenal for the B.C. Club Challenge championship in Abbotsford last weekend.

Team Sutton, a men’s team from Royal City Curling Club, captured the tourney title, emerging from a 12-team battle over three days.

It was the 20th anniversary of the competition, which previously was combined with the Pacific International Cup (PIC).

Team Sutton, which features third Will Sutton, skip Cody Johnston, second Bruce Currie and lead Christopher Summers, were declared champions after a close 6-5 extra-end win over Delta’s Team Klitch.

Meanwhile, two Royal City rinks are preparing for next week’s AMJ Campbell Van Lines B.C. Mixed Curling championships in Vancouver.

Steve Kopf’s rink captured the No. 1-berth during the Family Day playdown.

Also in the competition is the Nicholas Umbach rink.
