A wild week of curling will come to a close with two more contests on Sunday.
On the men's side, Team Gushue, from St. John’s, N.L., eliminated defending champions Team John Epping of Toronto 7-5 in Saturday night’s Masters semifinals to book a spot in Sunday’s championship game at Memorial Gardens.
While Gushue has won double-digit titles and has competed in 19 finals in total, it’ll be the first time Matt Dunstone has reached this stage in his young career.
The 24-year-old Dunstone and his Regina-based squad upset Scotland’s Team Bruce Mouat 5-4.
On the women's side, a Hasselborg-Jone rematch of the 2018 Ford World Women's was not meant to be.
Team Tracy Fleury of East St. Paul, Man., will meet Japan’s Team Sayaka Yoshimura in the women’s final after both took down undefeated teams in the division.
Fleury, who is a Sudbury native, ousted defending champions Team Anna Hasselborg of Sweden 7-5 and Yoshimura bounced reigning world gold medallists Team Silvana Tirinzoni of Switzerland 7-4.
It’s Fleury’s third career Grand Slam final as she looks to lock down her first title in the series.
