What a treat in store for the spectators at this grand finale to an exciting weekend of curling.
The two championship games were close fought efforts, one decided by an extra end steal, the other  might have also led to overtime.

Rachel Homan and her third, Emma Miskew, were both in their ninth and last year of competition in the SuperSpiel, and had already won the event in 2006 when they beat the Scottish men's team in the final of what was an integrated event at the time. Today's match against Clancy Grandy might have gone either way until the ninth end when Homan took two, putting her up one without the hammer coming home. However, perfect execution by the whole team allowed them to steal the end and seal the victory. The team had a perfect record in this competition, including their win over the Men's champions in the Battle of the Sexes skins game.  Certainly this was a grand way to end their participation in this event. Congratulations to Lynn Kreviazuk, Laura Crocker, Emma Miskew and Rachel Homan on their win.
It was just as tough a game for Connor Duhaime and his Peterborough rink to win. They had to fight for every point but were able to prevail only at the very end. They tied the game with a single in the ninth and managed to protect a counter to steal the victory point in the extra end.  For Neil Sinclair and his team this had to be very disappointing as this was their second defeat in the final of this event. Duhaime and teammates Jeff Inglis, Rob Collins, Michael Kean and Josh Billing were full value for the win having a perfect record against the men, including an earlier 5-3 victory over Sinclair in the A final. Congratulations!
