Team Silvernagle from Twin Rivers Curling Club is looking to defend their Saskatchewan curling title when they head to Melville for the provincial championship on Friday.

The Women's Viterra Scotties Provincial championship go from Jan. 24 to 28 in Melville, to be followed immediately afterwards by the men's championship starting on the 29th. 

Team Silvernagle consists of Robyn Silvernagle of North Battleford, third Stefanie Lawton, second Jessie Hunkin and lead Kara Thevenot. Lesley McEwan is the coach. 

Silvernagle won her first provincial title last year after making it to the final game the previous two years. If the Silvernagle team hopes to repeat as provincial champions they must best a field of 11 other curling teams including several former provincial champions with national Scotties experience. Those include the Sherry Anderson team from Nutana Curling Club, the Amber Holland team from Callie Curling Club, the Michelle Englot team from Highland Curling Club and the Penny Barker team curling out of Moose Jaw.  

Facing a top-notch field will be nothing new for the Silvernagle team, who has faced no shortage of top-level national and international teams this season on the Pinty's Grand Slam tour as well as at the Canada Cup. 

The draw has been set with Team Silvernagle slated for an 11 a.m. practice time on Friday, followed by the start of play for teams at 2 p.m. Silvernagle's first match is on sheet 3 at 7:30 p.m., against a team to be determined.
