On Saturday the varsity teams battled it out in the sand for their playoff matches. In the end there was one Sabres team that made it to the finals. Sienna Driedger and Taleesa Minnaar competed against CJS in the championship game of the varsity girls 2’s division, but ultimately succumbed to their opponents, earning them 2nd overall.
