Jul 13, 2022 | 8:00 AM

The U13A Prince Albert Astros are prepared and ready for battle.

The team will make the trek to Delisle where there they will compete in the U13 ‘A’ Provincial Championship.

Winning the tournament will be no easy task, as head coach Neil Finch said it’s anyone’s game.

“Everyone there has just as good of a chance to succeed in the win column as we do,” he said. “We’re looking forward to some close competition this weekend.”

Five teams will compete for the title of Provincial Champion, including P.A, Saskatoon Selects, Valley Blue Jays, Rosebud Royals, and the host Delisle Diamond Dogs.

To help motivate the Astros to achieve their goal, Finch said to “not give anything up for free.”

“We go into every game with that mindset,” he said. “We have to do that both on the offensive and defensive side and if we can do that, we will do well. If we start giving things out for free, then it’ll start to get a little more difficult.”

The Astros begin their Provincial campaign on July 15th with the tournament going until the 17th.
