A handful of local softball teams are playing for all the marbles this weekend as provincial championship season has arrived.

Five teams from Prince Albert are set to begin their journeys to provincial gold, with two of those tournaments happening at Prime Minister’s Park in PA. That tournament is being hosted by the U15 Astros and features two other teams in the Rosebud Royals and Parkland Wildcats.

Each team will play against each other once on Saturday, with the Astros playing Rosebud at 10 a.m. and Parkland at 6 p.m. The team that wins both of their games will advance straight to the gold medal game at 2 p.m. on Sunday, while second and third place will play at 10 a.m. to see who advances to play for gold and who takes provincial bronze. All games will be played at Rotary Field.

That is the only Astros team in action this weekend as the others are slated to hit the field next weekend, July 10-12. The U13’s will be heading to Shell Lake, while the U17’s and U20’s will be in Prince Albert at Prime Minister’s Park.

The other tournament happening in Prince Albert this weekend includes the U15 Aces and 13 other teams from across the province.
