Dunstone books spot at 2020 Brier with 4-2 win over Muyres at Tankard

Matt Dunstone is heading to Kingston.

The Regina-based skip was able to knock off reigning provincial champion Kirk Muyres Sunday in the title game, 4-2.

The win is just a year removed from a provincial title loss for Dunstone’s rink. In Whitewood during the 2019 provincial championships, they fell to Muyres 6-4.

The game was touch-and-go from the beginning for both sides. The teams blanked five total ends in the game.

Dunstone scored a deuce in the ninth end, breaking the 2-2 draw. The two points ended up being the difference Sunday.
