1990 Canadian Senior Curling Championships


The 1990 Canadian Senior Curling Championships, Canada's national championship for curlers over 50, were held March 10 to 17, 1990 at the Mount McIntyre Recreation Centre in Whitehorse, Yukon.
In the men's final, Brier champion Jim Ursel, representing Manitoba, defeated British Columbia's Jerry Martin 5–4. Ursel credited the win to a hit and roll made on his first in the sixth end, which was followed up by Martin rubbing off a guard on his last. With hammer, Ursel drew for two, instead of having to face four BC stones. This game Manitoba a 2–1 lead. BC took the lead in the seventh, but Manitoba took control with a three-ender in the eighth. In that end, Martin made a near perfect freeze on his last, but Ursel was able to pick it out to score three. This gave Manitoba a 5–3 lead, in which they never looked back.
In the women's final, Ontario's Jill Greenwood beat Amy Nakamura of Alberta, 9–4, despite the team struggling early on in the game which resulted in the team throwing wrong rocks on occasion, and didn't get a feel of the ice. It was the third national title for teams from Ontario that season, with Ed Werenich winning the Brier and Alison Goring winning the Tournament of Hearts.
