Revised - The Yukon’s Hailey Birnie rink has had a tough start to the 2022 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

Team Birnie consists of skip Birnie, third Patty Wallingham, second Kerry Campbell, and lead Kim Tuor. The alternate is Stephanie Brown.

The Yukon foursome got off to a promising start in the tourney, losing a heartbreaker to Quebec’s Laurie St-Georges’s rink 8-7 in the final end early Sunday morning in Draw 4.

Down 8-6 in the 10th end, Birnie was sitting three, but St-Georges’s last rock cancelled out two of the stones, leaving Birnie just short of tying it up.

Birnie had scored two in the 9th end to make it close. Had Team Yukon taken that game, it would have given them momentum heading into the next draw, not to mention their first win at the Scotties in their first game this year.

Instead, they were overpowered in Draw 6 Sunday by Manitoba’s Mackenzie Zacharias’s rink 12-3 in eight ends.

Zacharias put Team Birnie behind the eight ball immediately by scoring four in the first end, and never looked back.

Team Birnie was also in tough against the Northwest Territories’ Team Galsuha Monday in Draw 8.

Kerry Galusha’s rink scored four in End 3 and five in the eighth to bury Team Birnie 13-4 in eight ends.

Team Birnie had an early-morning clash with Walker’s Team Alberta yesterday.

They put up a good fight, but fell 11-5 in nine ends.

Team Walker started strong with three in the first end, and bookended it with three in the ninth to put the game out of reach. The Yukon rink played a strong game against Kerri Einerson’s unbeaten Team Canada rink (6-0) in Draw 12 yesterday.

After falling behind 4-0 after the first end, they outscored Canada 4-2 to end up with a very respectable 6-4 score.

Team Birnie is last in Pool B with an 0-5 record.

They play Ontario (2-4) today at noon.
