September 28-30 marked the final weekend of the Canadian Professional
Rodeo Association’s 2007 regular season, and cowboys and cowgirls from all over came to McCord and Saskatoon, Sask., in a final bid to secure a trip to the Canadian Finals Rodeo in November. It was a tight race in the bareback event. Coming into the weekend there was less than $800 separating 11th and 15th place in the standings. At the end of the weekend there was a $1,797 difference. Bareback rider Clayton Bunney from Cessford Alta. made good use of this last rodeo weekend. He was sitting in the 14th hole when it all started, but after placing 2nd in the first go-round at Saskatoon, 1st in the second go-round, and winning the aggregate, as well as winning $267 at McCord, Bunney walked away with another $2,421 and had jumped up the standings into tenth place.
Another cowboy who got the job done over the weekend is steer wrestler Cody Cassidy from Donalda, Alta. With a time of 3.9 on Sunday afternoon,
Cassidy’s last minute move earned him another $1,881 and bumped him up from 14th to the bottom hole in the standings and into a spot on the CFR roster.
In tie-down roping, Cliff Williamson’s third place run was good enough for $423 and moved him ahead of Airdrie, Alta.’s Jeff Chapman into the last hole, ensuring a record 28th consecutive appearance at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton for the Madden, Alta. cowboy. Jeremy Harden also worked his way up in the saddle bronc standings into a comfortable 10th place finish, winning a total of $1,888.
Qualified contestants have until Friday, October 12th to confirm their appearance at the Canadian Finals Rodeo. west of the rockies pro rodeo championship finals
The fourth annual West of the Rockies Pro Rodeo Championship Finals will be held in Prince George, B.C. on October 12-14.
With the top two positions reserved for B.C. natives, a total of ten contestants in each of the six events and team roping will compete. This is the second year the West of the Rockies has been held in Prince George, and once again it looks as though the Wild West “5” Rodeo Group has a great show lined up, with performances on Friday night at 7:00 PM, Saturday at 6:00 PM and Sunday at 1:00 PM.
