The 1984 Pepsi-Cola Canadian Junior Women's Curling Championship was held March 10-17, 1984 [1] at the Fort St. John Curling Club in Fort St. John, British Columbia. [2]
Manitoba, skipped by Darcy Kirkness from the Assiniboine Memorial Curling Club [3] defeated Ontario, skipped by Kristin Holman 7–6. The game was won when one of Holman's sweepers burned her last rock of the 10th end. Holman was attempting to get a rock into the four foot to out score two Manitoba rocks. Kirkness did not have to throw her last stone. The other members of Team Manitoba were Kirkness' sister Barb, and front end of Janet Harvey and Barb Fetch. [4]
The win was a record fifth provincial championship for the province of Manitoba in 1984. The province had also won the 1984 Canadian Junior Men's Curling Championship, the 1984 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the 1984 Labatt Brier and the 1984 Canadian Men's Senior Curling Championships. [3]
