The most elusive and hardest-throwing dodgeball players in the province were gathered in Niverville April 13 and 14, as the Riel Cup returned to town.

The provincial dodgeball qualifiers were hosted inside the Niverville Resource and Rec Centre’s AMF field-house, with three courts active throughout the day.

Five men’s teams and four women’s teams qualified for the national championships at the tournament.
