The Oilfields Curling Club in Black Diamond is hosting the Southern Alberta Master's Men's Playdowns this weekend.

They get things going Friday, February 3, and wrap it all up Monday, February 6, with the "C" Event final.

The top three rinks earn a berth to Provincials in a couple of weeks in Olds.

Just one local team made the cut, that's the Darrell Smith rink out of Vulcan.

But it's also a chance to see former Olympic and Brier Champ, as well as defending Masters Champion, Ed Lukowich, who's looking to repeat.
