Over the weekend, the Swift Current Indians clinched their first WMBL Championship since 2010, Monday night, they celebrated with the public at a dinner and awards ceremony.

Among those at the event was Indians' Manager Joe Carnahan, who says he couldn't have asked for a better group of players to compete with.

"The guys played well this year. It was a pleasure to coach them because they all came to the field everyday, worked hard and played hard, they had a lot of fun and just battled. Battled through injuries, battled through everything and they got rewarded," he said.

Carnahan added that what helped make this group so special was their attitude on and off the ball diamond.

"These guys are such a team first oriented set of guys, it was unbelievable," he said.

"It didn't take long for these guys to mesh together and they did whatever they had to, to benefit the team and help us win."

The Tribe finished the regular season 33-15, before rolling through the playoffs with an undefeated record of 9-0.

The Indians started their playoff run with a three game sweep of the Weyburn Beavers, before eliminating the Yorkton Cardinals in three games and then finished the perfect playoff run with three straight victories against Edmonton.

For Swift Current though, the regular season was just as impressive, going the whole summer without losing more then two games in a row.

Reflecting back on the season that was, Carnahan felt the players deserved all of the winning that came their way.

"We set out our goals at the beginning of the year and we accomplished them. You have to go a lot of credit to these players, they went out every day, battled and fought through a lot of adversity. They did a great job and got rewarded in the end," he said.

For Carnahan, it is not his first time being involved with a team that claimed the WMBL championship, however, it does not make it any less sweet.

"Anytime you win a championship, it ranks number one, you know what I mean?" he said.

"We ended up getting a championship, that is what you play for, and it was a lot of fun."

The 2016 championship is Swift Current's fifth title since the league became the Western Major Baseball League in 2000, the most of any franchise since that transition.
