LIVERPOOL, N.S. - Nova Scotias Mary Fay guaranteed at least one more match and a shot at the Canadian junior curling championships final on home ice. Fay, who skips from nearby Chester, N.S., fell behind 3-0 on Thursday before rallying past Saskatchewans Kristen Streifel 7-6. The win clinches a tiebreaker berth for Fay, third Jenn Smith, second Karlee Burgess and lead Janique LeBlanc, wholl play Ontarios Molly Greenwood on Friday for a spot in Saturdays semifinal. "Were not satisfied," said Fay (7-2). "Were going to keep fighting, for sure, because we want to do the best we possibly can. And we know we can be right there." Albertas Kelsey Rocque (9-1) clinched a bye to Saturdays final by beating Manitobas Meaghan Brezden 6-4, while B.C.s Kalia Van Osch (8-2) will play either Fay or Greenwood in the semi. "Being the first time for us to come to nationals, and doing so well, its definitely a really good feeling," said Fay. "But we knew we could compete with these teams. I just know I have the best teammates, and we work so hard. I know that every time we go onto the ice, we can make the shots to compete with these teams. "I dont know how much I expected, but I expected to do well and were really pleased with how its going so far." Meanwhile, the Yukons Sarah Koltun stole one in the 11th end for a 9-8 win over Northern Ontarios Krysta Burns. In mens seeding-round games, the Yukons Joe Wallingham was a 6-5 winner over Newfoundland and Labradors Stephen Trickett, while Quebecs Adam Freilich turned back the Northwest Territories Matthew Miller 10-3.

Jose Calderon Pistons Jersey .com) - The Los Angeles Kings peppered Ryan Miller with shot after shot.John Amaechi has rejected Football Association chairman Greg Clarkes view that the national game is not ready for an out, gay, male player and accused the sport of lacking the will to tackle homophobia. Amaechi, one of a handful of Britons to make it in the United States National Basketball Association, was giving evidence to MPs in a Culture, Media and Sport Committee hearing on homophobia in sport.The 45-year-old came out in America in 2007 and, despite a mixed initial reaction to his announcement, said being out is better than being in: it frees you in so many ways. But when asked why more British athletes from team sports, particularly football, have not come out, Amaechi delivered a damning indictment of the games leadership. John Amaechi accused football of lacking the will to tackle homophobia Fundamentally, its about will. These people have access to all the resources they need. They could do it now. They just dont have the will to do it, said Amaechi.Last month, Clarke told the CMS committee on Football Governance he would not advise a footballer to come out while still playing because of the abuse they would get from the terraces and social media. Watch NOW TV! Watch Sky Sports for only £6.99. No contract The first and only active footballer to come out in the UK was Justin Fashanu in 1990. Since then, players such as Thomas Hitzlsperger and Robbie Rogers have revealed their sexuality, but only after retiring - a decision reversed by the latter three months later when he agreed terms with the Los Angeles Galaxy.Amaechi said he was surprised we are still talking about this but blamed that on sport lagging behind society. He also claimed football did not treat homophobia as seriously as racism. Robbie Rogers returned to football with the LA Galaxy after coming out On Clarkes point that fans were not ready to accept a gay player, Amaechi was dismissive.There is always an undesirable and ignorant segment of soociety and you will find it on the field, in the stands and in boardrooms - I would say the percentages move up when you reach the boardroom, he said.ddddddddddddIt is outrageous for these powerful men to suggest that those who look up to them for leadership are solely responsible. N Ireland vs Azerbaijan November 11, 2016, 7:30pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass We would not accept that at a school or in business but we are led to believe fans are feral and somehow uncontrollable.But tacit messages come from leadership. The lack of sanctions for sexist emails or homophobic behaviour, for example - that seeps down. These leaders are responsible for the tone they set, for allowing what they allow.
