Randy Whitton's team counted three in the seventh end to open up a four-point advantage on Al Meston's team, then ran them out of rocks in the eighth until Meston conceded the championship in the first event at the 44th Vale bonspiel to Whitton's team.
The teams traded points in the first two ends, Whitton opening the scoring with one in the first and Meston's team tying it up with one of their own in the second. Team Whitton counted two in the third end to open up a 3-1 lead but Meston's squad pulled within one with a point in the fourth end. They swapped singles in the fifth and sixth ends before Whitten scored the decisive blow.
