Locals lead team to championship
Several local slo-pitch players
travelled to Niagara Falls for the
provincial slo-pitch tournament last
weekend and came home as the
provincial winners.
Cindy Carter, Lorraine Blake,
Lynn McNichol and Lisa Stevenson
joined the rest of the Canadian Pack
and Parcel (CPP)/Hayters Plumbing
slo-pitch team to see how they could
fair in the ‘E’ division.
Lorraine Blake explained that the
team got together as six of them
wanted to try and see how far they
could make it in the tournament.
The team swept through a round-
robin tournament on Friday and
Saturday undefeated which won
them a bye into Sunday.
“Sunday was a single-elimination
day so we had to keep winning,” she
said.
The team played five games
straight, winning each one of them
and then ‘mercied’ a team from
Frankford, Ontario to win the final
game and bring home the gold.
The win entitles the team to
participate in the national
championship next year, however a
date and location for that has not
been announced.
“We think it’s going to be held out
west,” Blake said. “However, there’s
been no confirmation.”
The team had to mark several wins
during the season to be considered
for the year-end tournament and
played games in Dorchester and
Springfield, Ontario to make it
to the final tournament in Niagara
Falls.
Blake said that two other local
competitors, Heather Dunbar and
Melissa Jacklin, helped the team by
playing in those games.
In total, there were 57 teams in the
‘E’ division as well as two mens
divisions and one other women’s
division at the tournament.
The team received rings and
jackets for their win and, through
Hayters Plumbing, the team’s new
sponsor, the ladies will be taking to
the field next year with a new name
and hopefully bringing home the
national trophy.
Big (local) winners

Grade 8 runnersperform well for
Madill T&F team
The F.E. Madill Secondary School
cross country team competed in its
first meet of the season at Fanshawe
Park Conservation Area in London.
It was an opportunity to get race
experience and to compete with
many of the Western Ontario
Secondary School Athletics
Association (WOSSAA) runners the
athletes will encounter this season.
The Midget Boys team of
Franklin Marshall, Jordan Pham,
Riley Potter, and Mitch Ward were
seventh overall in a very large field
of runners. Both Marshall and
Pham won awards for placing in the
top 10 with their seventh and eighth
place finishes. The results were
promising given that two of the
runners, Jordan Pham and Riley
Potter, are both Grade 8 runners.
Notable mention in Junior Boys
goes to Wes Klages who raced with
an arm cast after breaking his arm
the previous day. He put in a strong
performance in his first ever high
school race.
In the Senior Girls division,
Marion Studhalter led her team with
her best ever pace for the five-
kilometre run. And, in Senior Boys,
Scott Dolmage and Mark Metcalfe
both substantially bettered their per-
kilometre time.
The team competed at Springbank
Park in London this week as well.

Broken Washer?
Blyth Laundromat
191 Westmoreland St., Blyth
519-523-9687
And now, the Crusaders
Rob Gordon unveiled the new hockey jerseys for the Blyth Brussels Minor Hockey Association
on Sunday at Blyth Lions Park. After a two-year trial amalgamation between both the Blyth
and Brussels Minor Hockey Associations, a vote to remain amalgamated passed with flying
colours earlier this year. The natural next step was new uniforms that can be shared by all
members of the new association. Local teams will now be known as the Blyth Brussels
Crusaders and will wear the two jerseys seen above, leaving behind the historical names of
the Brussels Bulls and the Blyth Bulldogs. At the ceremony, Gordon thanked a number of
sponsors who made the new jerseys a reality. (Vicky Bremner photo)
