It was Reilly's lone Brier appearance, but the rink won, earning the right to represent Canada at the 1967 Scotch Cup, the World Championships. At the Scotch Cup, the team finished the round robin in second place with a 6-1 record, but lost the semi-final match up against Scotland's Chuck Hay. This earned a bronze medal for the team.
