It was the Kindersley Royals versus the Prince Albert Royals in Sunday's 11U AA Tier 7 championship final in Kindersley, and it went down to the wire, with an exciting finish going the road Royals way in a one run walk-off victory.

A rainy weekend around the province caused problems for local diamonds, and Kindersley was no different. Despite puddles on the infield each morning the tournament still managed to play its way into championship Sunday where the weather actually smartened up by first pitch.

Saskatchewan basketball showed out bigtime on the courts in Las Vegas last week. Team Sask 15U, led by Unity native Zenon Orobko as head coach, won big in Vegas taking home the championship title for both the "Las Vegas Classic" and "Las Vegas Finale" tournaments.

Four Airdrie football stars helped Team Alberta capture gold at the U18 Football Canada Cup in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

They beat Team Ontario in the final 37-34 in overtime.

The Airdronians that competed in the event include:

• Matias Piza - Punter/Kicker
• Logan Quiring - Defensive line
• Colton Jackson-McConnell - Linebacker
• Ryder Frampton - Defensive back

Tyrell Rohl, who has coached the athletes here in Airdrie, is proud of how they all performed.

The Bow Valley Grizzlies have become the first team to raise the newly created Country Cup in Division 2 men's rugby—and now face the challenge of trying to keep it.

On July 19, the Grizzlies overpowered the Foothills Lions in the second half en route to a 37-14 victory.

Grizzlies head coach Ty Hawes said the Lions came out strong and shut down Bow Valley’s passing game until a late first-half try gave his side a narrow lead.

The championship podium had a southern feel at the Saskatchewan Amateur Golf Championships at the Humboldt Golf Club (HGC).  

Corey Bailey of Swift Current claimed the 2025 Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship. 

Bailey opened with an 8-under 64, followed by a 1-under 71 before shooting a 2-over 74 in the final round to claim the championship. 

The Carillon Sultans played strong, fundamental baseball, as well as capitalized on their opponents mistakes, earning themselves a three-game sweep, and putting them back in the Manitoba Junior Baseball League finals.

The Estevan Brewers baseball organization delivered a powerful showing across two divisions during a spirited weekend of provincial championship play.

Estevan’s U11 AAA Tier 2 Brewers battled their way to the championship final with a strong mix of resilience and explosive offence. The weekend kicked off Friday with a 13–8 loss to the Saskatoon Battalion Blue Jays. Undeterred, the Brewers bounced back Saturday with a 23–9 rout over the Saskatoon Cardinal Canons, followed by a hard-fought 19–13 win against the Sask Five Giant Gophers.

The U15B provincial softball championships wrapped up in Estevan this weekend, with the host team putting together a strong showing in front of a hometown crowd.

The Estevan Elite advanced to the playoff round as the top team in the Green Pool, earning a semifinal matchup against the Moose Jaw Ice. Despite a strong start, the Elite fell 14–6 to Moose Jaw, sending them into the bronze medal game.

The Moose Jaw Miller Express picked up a 12-7 win over the Mavericks in Medicine Hat on Friday night. 

Moose Jaw opened the scoring in the top of the third inning. Thomas Soto singled to left field to drive in Andy Rivas, and William Edwards singled to right field to bring Soto home. The Mavericks replied in the bottom half of the inning with a single run. 

Two days of fastball action came to a close last night at Tom Laing Park, even if the ending was a bit delayed. Due to rain last night that ended up postponing the matchup on the other diamond between the Weyburn Beavers and the Saskatoon Berries, the final matchup of the 62nd annual Borderline Men's Fastball tournament had to be halted after the first few innings. The Gladmar Braves had the jump on the Weyburn Renegades 3-0 in the championship final before the rain started to fall.
