The Beavers first game was against Kindersley Friday evening and the home team thumped Kindersley 16-6.

In the second round robin game Saturday morning, the Beavers continued their winning ways with a dominating 26-11 win over Saskatoon.

Later Saturday, North Battleford wrapped up the round robin with a 14-9 loss to Humboldt.

The loss matched the Beavers up against the Melfort Selects Sunday morning in the semi final and it a well-played ball game, the Selects took the 1-0 decision.

Melfort went on to beat Humboldt handily in the final to take the tournament championship.

Next on the schedule for the Beavers is a tournament in Kindersley this weekend.
