So, after the last round-robin game this morning in the Brier it is Saskatchewan who are into the 3v4 game against Team Canada. Their victory this morning against British Columbia put Alberta, Quebec and BC out. They remain on five losses while the Saskatoon foursome have just four defeats.

Tonight in the 1v2 game Northern Ontario take on Newfoundland-Labrador. So far team from the east have been the only rink to get the better of the curling machine from Sault St Marie. Brad Gushue has won everything in curling bar the Brier and he is high on confidence having played what everyone here is calling the “shot of the year” against Alberta.

Good luck to both teams in the Irish men’s playoffs at Dumfries this weekend.
