A misfire from Ramsfjell in the fourth end allowed Dunstone to steal a point and build a 4-2 cushion heading into the halftime break. Ramsfjell ran back his guard but missed Dunstone’s shot rock completely.
After the teams alternated singles, Dunstone swiped another point in the seventh after Ramsfjell attempted a long angle raise that wrecked on his own guard. Ramsfjell didn’t get a chance to throw his last in the eighth as Dunstone ran him out of rocks.
It was a renewed rivalry as Dunstone and Ramsfjell first faced off at the 2016 world junior championships. Not only are they now duking it out on the Grand Slam of Curling circuit all of these years later, but so too are others from their class like Korey Dropkin and Yannick Schwaller, who happened to be playing against each other on the adjacent sheet.
