Brier Ends in Perfection

The 2008 Tim Horton's Brier concluded Sunday evening with the Kevin Martin team from Alberta finishing the tournament with a perfect 13-0 record. In a tough final against the defending world champion Glenn Howard team from Ontario, the Martin team held on to a 4-2 for three ends before the Ontario team could get two to tie the game in the ninth. The hammer went back to the Martin team for the tenth end and it took a draw to touch the button by Kevin to win the title. With the win, the Alberta team gets to represent Canada at the World Curling Championship in Grand Forks, North Dakota in April as well as a berth in the olympic pre-trials tournament next year.
