Matthew Dunstone, nicknamed"the Sheriff"^[2] (born June 25, 1995)^[3] is aCanadiancurler originally fromWinnipeg,Manitoba.

Dunstone won theCanadian Junior Curling Championships in2013.^[4] He represented Canada at the2013 World Junior Curling Championships, where he won the bronze medal. He was unable to defend his championship at the2014 Canadian Juniors after losing in the finals of the Manitoba Canola Juniors toBraden Calvert. The next time he would represent Manitoba was in 2016, after winning the 2016 Manitoba Canola Juniors. This earned the Dunstone rink a spot in the2016 Canadian Juniors where he won his second title after defeating Northern Ontario 11-4 in the final, and represented Canada at the2016 World Junior Curling Championships, winning a bronze medal.

Dunstone joined the Saskatchewan-basedSteve Laycock rink for the2017-18 curling season, initially as second, but later in the season began throwing fourth stones, while Laycock skipped and threw third. Dunstone won his firstprovincial men's championship in 2018 with Team Laycock. The team represented Saskatchewan at the2018 Tim Hortons Brier, where they finished with a 6-5 record.

Team Laycock broke up in 2018, and Dunstone formed a new Saskatchewan-based team, with him as skip,Braeden Moskowy at third,Catlin Schneider at second andDustin Kidby at lead. The team was invited to represent Canada at thethird leg of the 2018-19 Curling World Cup. The team won the event, defeating Team Sweden'sNiklas Edin rink in the final.

In their first event of the2019-20 season, Team Dunstone finished runner-up at theStu Sells Oakville Tankard toJohn Epping. Dunstone also won his first career Grand Slam at the2019 Masters where he defeatedBrad Gushue in the final. The team failed to replicate the success as they were not able to qualify at theTour Challenge,National,Canadian Open, and finishing winless at the2019 Canada Cup. The team was able to win the2020 SaskTel Tankard, after falling into the C Event, Team Dunstone won four straight games including defeatingKirk Muyres in the final to win the provincial championship. At the2020 Tim Hortons Brier, they finished the round robin and championship pool with a 8–3 record which qualified them for the 1 vs. 2 game againstAlberta'sBrendan Bottcher. They lost the game 9–4 and then lost the semifinal toNewfoundland and Labrador's Gushue, settling for a bronze medal. It would be the team's last event of the season as both thePlayers' Championship and theChampions Cup Grand Slam events were cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.^[5] After the season, Team Dunstone addedKirk Muyres to their team, replacingCatlin Schneider at second.^[6]

Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic in Saskatchewan, the 2021 provincial championship was cancelled. As the reigning provincial champions, Team Dunstone was invited to represent Saskatchewan at the2021 Tim Hortons Brier, which they accepted.^[7] At the Brier, Dunstone led his team to a 9–3 record, qualifying for the playoffs as the second seed. FacingBrendan Bottcher in the semifinal, they lost 6–5 after Bottcher made a runback to score two in the tenth end. Team Dunstone would have to settle for the bronze medal for a second straight year.^[8]
