Tournament starts Friday with Brussels vs. Delaware
A tradition
The Brussels Tigers, who recently took on a mens' squad
from Australia in an exhibition game, shown above, are
getting ready to host their annual invitational tournament
this weekend. The Linwood Chiefs are the team to beat
after they took home the championship last year by beating
out the Wingham Hitmen. (Fite photo)
Nelemans wary of using
consultant for BMGCC
Councillor Dorothy Kelly has
updated Morris-Turnberry Council
on the plans of the committee
behind proposed renovations at the
Brussels, Morris and Grey
Community Centre, saying they are
turning to professional help to
achieve its goals.
Councillor Dorothy Kelly, Morris-
Turnberry's representative on the
Brussels, Morris and Grey
Recreation Board, said that during a
recent meeting the committee had
received a presentation from a
consultant to help with the project,
including a preliminary costing to
create a plan for the the building.
Kelly said she wasn't sure if the
committee would take the proposal
offered or seek other consultants'
offerings first, however Councillor
Jim Nelemans said he was wary of
involving consultants.
Nelemans said, in his experience,
sometimes having a consultant can
cost more than the project itself,
though, with the project potentially
costing between $1-$2 million,
according to Mayor Paul Gowing,
Nelemans said that was unlikely.
When Councillor John Smuck
asked if Morris-Turnberry would be
required to contribute to the project,
Kelly said she would update council
regarding the project's requirements
in the future.

The Brussels Tigers' 47th annual
Men's Invitational Fastball
Tournament, held this weekend in
the village, marks a return to the
traditional 12 -team schedule that
fans and players have come to know
and love.
The tournament runs July 27-29.
The Tigers will open the tournament
with a game against the Delaware
Highlanders at 7:30 p.m. on the
community baseball diamond.
After that, at 9:15 p.m., the
Goderich Grizzlies will take on the
Kitchener Selects.
On Saturday morning, the action
starts at 8:30 a.m. with the Monkton
Muskrats taking on Harwood
Corners. The Linwood Chiefs then
take on the Walton Brewers.
At the Brussels, Morris and Grey
Community Centre baseball
diamond on Saturday morning, the
Wroxeter Rippers will be taking on
the Port Stanley Pirates at 10:45
a.m., followed by the Fullarton A's
taking on the Glencoe Astros.
Semi-finals follow on Saturday
evening with the finals set for
Sunday throughout the day. For a
full schedule, check out the schedule
advertised on page 11 of this week's
edition of The Citizen.
Brussels Tigers representative
Shawn Daw said that last year, the
tournament was down two teams,
resulting in a change to the schedule.
This year, with the addition of some
new teams and a lot of regular teams
returning, competition is back up to
a dozen.
New teams this year include the
Delaware Highlanders and the
Glencoe Astros. Daw also said the
Wroxeter Rippers are returning to
the tournament after being absent
for a few years.
Regulars like the Harwood
Corners, Fullarton A's, Goderich
Grizzlies and Kitchener Selects have
been coming for years while the
Linwood Chiefs, featuring local
player George Armstrong who
typically suits up with the Wingham
Hitmen, will be returning for the
second year.
Daw said that one minor change to
the tournament this year is that each
team will receive $25 per win,
meaning that teams that are bested
in the semi-finals or earlier don't
necessarily walk away empty-
handed.
The tournament functions as a
fundraiser for the Brussels Tigers
which, after covering expenses
donate money towards buying
jerseys and equipment for Brussels
Minor Baseball and maintaining the
diamonds in the community.
Daw said that, thanks to the
generosity of a local business owner,
a significant number of youth
baseball gloves have been donated
to the Brussels Optimist Club, which
will be distributed at the tournament.
Daw said to track down a member of
the Brussels Tigers or visit the
pavilion during the tournament for
details.
The start of a streak?
Last year, the Brussels Tigers ended the season on a high
note winning the Huron County Fastball League
Championship. Will they be able to add a second trophy win
by conquering their own annual tournament this weekend?
Take in a few games and find out. (Fite photo)
