(CCA) - A new face, but the same province, has emerged as the mens champion at the 2014 M&M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Curling Championships. Jay Miller Jersey . Manitobas Braden Calvert and his team from Winnipeg - third Kyle Kurz, second Lucas Van Den Bosch, lead Brendan Wilson and coach Tom Clasper - beat New Brunswicks René Comeau 7-5 on Sunday afternoon at Queens Place Emera Centre in the mens gold-medal game. It gave Manitoba back-to-back mens titles at the Canadian Juniors, following Matt Dunstones victory a year ago in Fort McMurray, Alta. "Its a dream come true, really," said an ecstatic Calvert, whose team will join womens champ Kelsey Rocque of Alberta at the 2014 World Junior Curling Championships, beginning Feb. 26 in Flims, Switzerland. "The guys just played really well all week, and we managed to do it. Unbelievable. Im in shock right now." It wasnt a perfect start for the Manitobans, whod had the berth in the final clinched since Wednesday; the 18-year-old Calvert nose-hit a blank attempt in the first end, surrendered a deuce to New Brunswick in the second, and was held to one in the third. "To be honest, it was a bit of a grind," admitted Calvert, an agriculture student at the University of Manitoba. "We tried to stay sharp with practices, but you cant really prepare for what just happened. I think we came out a little sluggish, to be honest. But we managed to grind one out." In the fourth, Manitoba put the heat on Comeau, and the New Brunswick skip couldnt respond. His hit attempt missed everything and gave Manitoba a game-turning steal of four. "Really, it was just one shot," said Comeau, whose team from Fredericton was rounded out by third Daniel Wenzek, second Jordan Craft, lead Ryan Freeze and coach Damien Lahiton. "We battled hard and tried to come back. But theyre a great hitting team. Once you get down to them, its hard to come back." New Brunswick fought back, getting a deuce in the fourth end, and then stealing one in the sixth when Calvert couldnt make a draw to bite the pin. But Calvert made a clutch delicate tap in the eighth to take back some momentum, and his teammates went to work in the ninth and 10th ends to keep the house clean. Calvert finished the game with an open takeout to run New Brunswick out of rocks. "I was just happy we were on the podium," said Comeau. "Im definitely excited about our future; we learned this week that we can compete with the best teams in Canada. Lots to come — it wont be the last you hear from us." Now, the Manitobans sights will turn to Switzerland and the chance to wear Canadian colours on the world stage. "I definitely think Im ready, and I think our team is, too," said Calvert. "We just practise so well and so much that I think well be prepared for the challenge." Albertas Carter Lautner (Calgary), backed up by third Taylor Ardiel, second David Aho, lead Kyle Morrison and coach Jim Lautner, won the bronze medal after losing to New Brunswick in Sunday mornings semifinal. Par Lindholm Jersey .C. -- Only two Syracuse teams have won their first 20 games, and C. Larry Regan Jersey . I kept my eyes focused up on the camera during each approach. I just tried to stay focused on my form, as I didnt know what the ball reaction was. I was quite emotional at the end. I did not actually see any of the shots in the game until I got home and watched the video. https://www.cheapbruins.com/ . -- Jesse Lussier scored 8:24 into overtime as the Halifax Mooseheads erased a four-goal deficit to beat the host Val-dOr Foreurs 6-5 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff action.Paul Farbrace says Englands bowlers are not running scared from Chris Gayle, despite the batsmans brutal century against them in Mumbai. Gayle smashed 11 sixes when the World T20 finalists met in the Super 10 phase, winning the game for his side in the process.He has made just nine in two innings since but with a batsman-friendly surface expected at Eden Gardens, he will be looking to make a big impression.

England assistant coach Farbrace does not expect the English attack to take a backward step this time, having gained confidence throughout the tournament.Gayle may or may not play a similar innings again, but what we do know is that we now have enough bowlers with enough confidence to back their skills, he said. They wont think, Oh hes hit me for a couple of boundaries and now I have to do something different. You dont run in half-hearted or doubtting your abilities. Brad Park Jersey. Id be very surprised if any bowler is doubting themselves now. Theyve learnt quickly and they are sticking to what works. Chris Gayle shakes hands with England captain Eoin Morgan in Mumbai It may have been first-game nerves, it may have been because when someone like Chris Gayle just got going that little bit of inexperience in our side made a difference.I think the bowlers have learnt incredibly quickly and done it really well.Will England win the World T20?
