Assiniboia's Alan Batty is lone local rink still alive at the SaskTel Men's Southern Playdowns in Swift Current.

Batty plays Derek Boe in the "C" event semifinal Sunday morning.  The winner will face Jason Krupski with a spot in the Provincial Tankard on the line Sunday afternoon at 2pm.

Batty dropped down to the "C" event on Saturday with a 9-2 loss to Regina's Chris Busby in "B" semifinal.  He then beat Regina's Al Schick 11-4 in to advance to Sunday's game against Boe.

Estevan's Brent Gedak, Regina's Brent Goeres and Busby have all qualified so far for the Men's Provincial Tankard, starting on February 1st.
