In ends 11 to 13, Leases came back by picking up five shots making the score 12–7. In end 15, WBC picked up seven shots putting them in the lead at 19–7, in the 16th end WBC picked up another shot leaving the score at 20–7. Leases then decided to call the game with two ends left to play and WBC was then crowned the 2023 champions.

“It is always a humbling experience when you win, especially when you have been on the other side of the coin. There is so much that happens behind the scenes to ensure success, the committee, grounds staff, supporters and of course your teammates. When all these things are in the sink, it’s hard not to do well. We play as a team, we support each other, and always believe that we have a chance. Tenacity is one of our strengths, we never give up and will always fight to the end,” concluded Ian.
