The two teams who met in the final of the 2010 Safeway Championship this past February in Steinbach, met Monday night in Portage with $18,000 on the line instead of a trip to the Brier. Mike McEwen, who lost the provincial men's final to Jeff Stoughton, beat the 1996 World champion 6-3 in the final of the Canad Inns Prairie Classic. McEwen, along with third B.J. Neufeld, second Matt Wozniak and lead Denni Neufeld, took control of the final with three points in the first end and three more in the sixth.
