The Langley/Royal City team scored four in both the second and fourth ends to win 11-5 in eight ends in Sunday’s championship final. They were held at the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster.
With the victory, they will now represent B.C. at the 2017 Canadian junior curling championships.
They run Jan. 21 to 29 in Esquimalt.
