The 15U AA team was in Saskatoon. In their first game, they went up against Saskatoon where they took the win with a 14-4 final score. The 15U AA boys were tied for second and battled on Sunday morning to get their seat in the finals. Their first game of the day went into extra innings where they took the win over Unity, 8-7.

The East Central Dodgers took the win from the boys later in the day with a score of 12-8. On Sunday, the Weyburn 15U AA came out as the Tier I Provincial Champs following an 11-4 victory over Meadow Lake Sox.

They are back-to-back champions, and are now off to Westerns, which will be held on Aug. 19-21 in Estevan.

At the 11U AA provincials over the weekend, the Weyburn 11U AA Beavers won both games on Saturday, sending them to the semi-finals Sunday morning in Moose Jaw.
