The Marysburg Royals suffered their first loss of the season in the Saskatoon Senior Baseball League but were able to bounce back quickly as they went 1-1 in their doubleheader against the Saskatoon Dodgers on Sunday. 

In the first game, the Dodgers picked up a 5-3 win over the Royals. In the loss, Nick Anderson and Tom Hooker each registered a home run.  

Local riders made the trip to Weyburn over the weekend for Round 1 of the Saskatchewan Motocross series.

10 Swift Current competitors attended the event, with more than half of the local participants securing overall places within the top 10 in their designated categories.

Swift Current's Adairia Dickie finished in fourth overall in the Ladies B division, while Cole Gunter captured fourth overall in the Vet Junior category as well as seventh in MX1 Junior.

After a rocky start, the U13 AA Grey Sultans played their best ball of the season and came out with two very impressive victories, including in the B-Side final sending the team home with medals.

"We entered the Wayne Tucker Memorial tournament out in Buhler Park," Assistant Coach Jason Sharpe explains. "We went in without a lot of expectations, we knew it would be our first game play as a team. We played two games on Saturday and lost both, but they were really close. Game one was 6-4 and game two was 12-11. That actually seeded us 8th out of the 11 teams."

The Cochrane Aces U11 CMSA softball team delivered a dominant performance this weekend at the Leduc Jets Spring Classic, capping off an undefeated run with a gold medal victory on Sunday.

The Aces went a perfect 4-0 over the course of the tournament, showcasing strong teamwork, solid defense, and powerful hitting. Their championship win came in convincing fashion with a 10-2 triumph in the gold medal game.

Adding to their impressive showing, the Aces allowed the fewest runs of any team in the tournament, a testament to their disciplined defense and standout pitching.

The Edmonton Oilers took a 2-1 series lead in the NHL's Western Conference final yesterday with a decisive 6-2 victory over the Dallas Stars. Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman scored two goals apiece.

It's been an exciting start to the season for one of Ste. Anne's U11 girls fast pitch teams and coach Alyssa Kibsey couldn't be happier with how the team is doing on the field and also how girls sports are growing around the province. 

"The girls are all vibing and having a great time," Kibsey says with a smile. "The commitments have been awesome and it's so great to see them developing their skills while loving the game."

The Boissevain Centennials have won the last three South West Baseball League championships and manager Jay Pringle believes the group can do it again this year.

Heading into his 14th year with the Centennials, Pringle says the excitement of a new season never gets old. "It's good, we're always anxious and looking forward to it. We always seem to have quite a bit of success in ball, so everyone gets antsy when the weather gets nicer. Thankfully this year, it was pretty warm for our first game."

Amery Roberts has been dominating his track and field events of late and the athletic wonder is looking to continue it heading into provincials.

Track and field has always been a passion for Roberts. "I started track and field in grade five. Our school didn't have very many athletes, so I joined the grade seven/eight program when I was in grade five. After COVID, I was out of it for a bit, and after joining long distance for a while, I kind of drifted in and out of events. Now, I'm pretty stuck to discus, javelin and triple jump. I've been doing that for three years."
