Matthew Manuel's team booked a ticket to the Brier with a 5-4 win over Owen Purcell in the Nova Scotia men's final Monday morning.

With the scored tied 4-4 coming home, Manuel stole a point in the 10th end for the victory at the Bluenose Curling Club in New Glasgow.

Manuel prevailed with a three-man team in the final because second Jeffrey Meagher was ill. Manuel's third Luke Saunders is the son of six-time Canadian and two-time world champion Colleen Jones.

Purcell's 8-7 win in an extra end over Manuel on Sunday evening forced a rematch Monday to decide the province's representative at the national championship March 3-12 in London, Ont.
