The SWBL finals have been set, with the defending champion Boissevain Centennials taking on the 4th seeded Wawanesa Brewers.
Boissevain dominated once again this season, going a league-best 14-1-1 en route to the #1 seed. The Cents swept the Rivers Comets 2-0 in round 1 of the playoffs, then beat the Hamiota Red Sox 3-1 in the semi-finals.
