Nova Scotia wins Canadian senior men's curling championship

A Nova Scotia team skipped by Paul Flemming has won the Canadian senior men's curling championship in Vernon, B.C.

Flemming and teammates Peter Burgess, Marty Gavin and Kris Granchelli defeated Saskatchewan's Bruce Korte 4-3 in the final on Saturday.

Team Nova Scotia advances to the world championships to be played in April in Sweden.

It is only the second Canadian senior men's title for a Nova Scotia team and the first since 2014 when Alan O'Leary won in Yellowknife.

Flemming had an open hit for the win on his final stone after Saskatchewan rallied from three points behind to tie the game 3-3.

In a media release from Curling Canada, Flemming said he never got ahead of himself.
