Manitoba, who was skipped by Ab Gowanlock defeated Quebec in the playoff 8–6 to capture the Brier Tankard.

The title gap is also still a record by any player (since equaled by Steve Gould in 1996 and 2011 as a lead[a]).

At 52 years of age, Gowanlock is to date the oldest Brier winning skip in history.

Manitoba then scored one in the fifth end to tie the game and steal one in the sixth and two in the seventh to take a 5–2 lead.

Even though Quebec had shot rock in the last end, Manitoba would go onto steal one more and win 8–6 to capture their fourteenth Brier championship and the second for Gowanlock as skip.
