The 2019 Farmers Edge Superspiel in Wadena has wrapped up with the Championship being captured by the team of Shaun Meachem, Brady Scharback, Brayden Stewart, Jared Latos and coach Jeff Chambers.

The winning rink is from the Swift Current Curling Club.

Team Meachem took home the $5,000 top prize with a win in the final against Team Glen Muirhead from Perth, Scotland. The Scottish team consisted of Glen Muirhead, Kyle Smith, Thomas Muirhead, Cammy Smith and coach Al Hackner.

Meachem had control of most of the game but needed a brilliant game-saving shot with his last with a freeze around a corner guard with Muirhead laying three at the time.

This was the second SCT event Meachem has won this season.

Muirhead was a crowd favourite of the weekend having spent a week at the club. They helped coach the junior program, practiced, played exhibition games, and toured the area seeing their first buffalo, moose, grain elevator and more.

Skip Glen Muirhead’s testimonial on the Wadena RE/MAX Curling Club Facebook page read: "Played in the Farmers Edge event early December! Great event to play with great ice and superb hospitality from the town! Farm visits/tours/home cooked meals/bounce games! A real top effort, well recommended! Like our events in Scotland these spiels need supported! Thanks to all for a great trip, top class people.”
