Steve Laycock and his curling foursome, featuring St. Gregor's Kirk and Dallan Muyres were back on the pebbled ice, competing at the SCT Tour Championship in Swift Current.

It was the first game action for Laycock since the Canadian Olympic Trials in December.

After qualifying for the playoffs by winning their first three games, Laycock defeated Dale Craig of Saskatoon 5-3 in the semifinal.

The championship game was a re-match of the 2017 Tankard final, which repeated in the ending, seeing Adam Casey pick up a 6-5 win.

Next up for the rink is the Tankard, where Laycock looks to get back to the Brier after their run of three straight appearances was ended last year.

The Tankard, held in Estevan, begins January 31.
