A recent Nova Scotia Brier representative, Mark Kehoe led his undefeated team of third Richard Barker, second Kevin Lonergan and lead Andrew McManus to a 5-2 win over Rod Aube of Fredericton on the weekend to capture the City of Moncton trophy, presented by Councillor Merrill Henderson, in the 52nd Annual Monctonian Curling Bonspiel.

The Raymond Smith/Wally Hastings Memorial Bonspieler award was won this year by Dale Ross of Ontario playing in his 29th event..
