The 2008 edition of the SWCT Ladies cash spiel wrapped up on Sunday, Novemebr 2nd at the Prince Albert Golf & Curling Club. Sam Yachiw and her rink of Robyn Silvernagel, Brett Barber, & Krista White from Saskatoon defeated another Saskatoon team, Patty Hersikorn and her team of Debbie Folk, Jill Shumay, & Shelley Madsen.

The final game was a great game!! Yachiw stole one in the 8th end to tie the game. In the extra end, Yachiw had it set up in her favour and Hersikorn needed to make a nose hit and stick for the win but was just a little off and rolled too far to give Yachiw the victory.  Yachiw, the runner up from last years event takes home the first place prize of $2,900 and Hersikorn takes home $1,650. Great job to both teams.

In the quarter final games McVicar defeated Lindsay Murray and Meittinen defeated Tracy Streifel. Murray and Streifel each took home $550.
