The Yorkton Bantam Terriers hosted an eight team bantam Tier 2 tournament at the Kinsmen Arena over the weekend. Tournament coordinator Tammy Plews says the event featured eight teams including the Saskatoon Wild Outlaws, Clavet Cougars, Kamsack Flyers, Saskatoon Wild Machine, Melfort Mustangs and Swan Valley Stampeders as well as two Yorkton bantam teams, the Yorkton D.R.

Overall the players had a very good tournament which showcased their skills well. Games were very close and lots of spectators took in the games, Plews reports.
The tournament major sponsor was Potzus Construction. There was also very good support from the Yorkton business community as well as the City of Yorkton and some local individuals, Plews notes.
