Cade Britz of Muenster had an RBI in the loss.  

In the 1989 Grey Cup, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats faced off in what many Canadian football fans regard as the greatest game in Canadian Football League (CFL) history. 

And while it’s only the middle of August, it seems the two teams could be on a path to meet in the Grey Cup again, as they lead their respective divisions near the midway point of the 2025 regular season. 

Next year the Bridge City will be the site of a Canadian Football League (CFL) preseason game for the first time since 1991. 

On Friday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders announced that Saskatoon will be hosting a game featuring the Saskatchewan Roughriders during the exhibition portion of the schedule.  

Saturday will mark a perfect opportunity to go for a walk in Wakaw.  

“Walk”aw Days returns the community. 

Following the recently completed 1st Street Revitalization Project, there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:00. It will be a chance to showcase the renovated downtown area.

The Outlaws scored all of their runs in the first two innings. 

Downtown in Wakaw is buzzing following the recent completion of the 1st Street revitalization project. 

Work was completed on the 100 and 200 blocks of the Street.  

The project began last September with work continuing until the snow arrived in November.  

While it was a wet weekend for most of Saskatchewan, most of the rainfall didn’t reach their northern section of the province that is experiencing the wildfires.  

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency said in their latest wildfire update on Monday that the recent rainfall only had a limited impact on the wildfires.
