Infantino apologizes for World Cup furor at showdown FIFA meeting - Sportsnet.ca

By Jonathan Brazeau VICTORIA — Sparks and fist pumps were flying when Matt Dunstone delivered his final shot against Danny Casper, scoring two points for an intense 8-7 win Thursday at the GSOC Co-op Invitational. Dunstone improved to a 2-1 record (six points) in the season’s first Grand Slam of Curling tournament at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. With four seconds left on his thinking time clock, Dunstone nailed the soft bump into the quarry to score the winning deuce that fired up the team and the crowd. "Awesome. That was a game I thought we deserved to win, for sure," Dunstone said. "A bad pick in six, and then I had a bad miss on my last in seven to let him back into it. But to come back with a big shot, fun way to end it. " As Dunstone alluded to, hits and misses highlighted the earlier stages of the match. Casper misfired a runback in the first end to put two points in Dunstone's pocket with one shot to go; however, the Winnipeg skip couldn't add a third rock to the count, tapping and rolling too far. That lost point came back to hurt. Casper chiselled out Dunstone’s shot rock in the second to score three points and take the lead as the back-and-forth chase was on.
