The record for the highest combined score in a single match was repeated.[13] It was scored 33 points in the session 11 match between Prince Edward Island (Smith) and Newfoundland (Piercey). The score is 17–16 in the extra end. Previously, this result was in 1932 (session 6, Ontario (Bulley) - new Brunswick (Thibodeau), 17-16) and in 1957 (session 2, Saskatchewan (Campbell) - new Brunswick (Everett), 30 - 3).
