Good job
The Brussels Squirts placed third in a tournament in Mitchell last weekend. They were ousted
by Kitchener-Waterloo with a 10-2 loss being denied the chance to head to the finals. The
team, however, won most of its games over the weekend and is having a great season. The
team’s next home game is June 15 when Mildmay comes to Brussels. (Photo submitted)
It was a busy week for the WOAA
Brussels squirts. The Tigers played
host to Walkerton on June 1 and
celebrated an 8-5 victory behind the
solid pitching of Jack Pipe and
Wyatt Machan.
With back-to-back wins at home,
the team travelled to Mitchell’s
Annual Fastball Tournament on the
June 3 weekend. In the opener on
Friday night, the Tigers walked
away with a solid 19-4 win over
the Mitchell home team. Pitching
their way to the win, Jessica
Johnston, Dylan McNeil and Pipe
put in solid performances while the
rest of the team contributed
offensively.
On Saturday morning the Tigers
faced their biggest challenge when
they faced a skilled OASA Level
team from Stouffville. The Tigers
won their fourth straight game of the
year with an 8-5 victory. On
Saturday afternoon the Tigers
squared off in a great battle against
the Squirt team from Innerkip.
Logan Kellington and Machan
pitched a fantastic game but came
up short in a close 5-4 loss.
The strong performance put in on
Saturday had the team advancing
into Sunday where they faced
Kitchener-Waterloo. Machan pitched
a great game however KW had a
strong team with aggressive
baserunning that proved to be too
much. Kellington and Bennett
Newell both scored on solo
homeruns however, it was not
enough as KW advanced to the
Championship with a 10-2 victory.
Brussels finished the tournament
in third place. The coaching staff
and parents were really impressed
with how well the team played
against high level teams from
very large communities. The
Bronze Medal team included,
Pipe, Johnston, Machan, NcNeil,
Kellington, Newell, Connor Den-
Dekker, Connor Bridge, Jake
Mitchell, Nolan Johnston, Mitchell
Ward, and Jarron Thompson.
The team’s next home game
is June 15 against Mildmay at
7 p.m.
Squirts get third in tournament
The Wingham Golf and Curling
Club welcomed the month of June
and early indications look very
positive. The golfers came with the
sunshine and many hit the links for
the first round of the year.
The Tuesday ladies had to endure
some extreme heat that many of the
girls were happy to see even though
it was a drastic change in
temperature. Next Tuesday, June 14
the gals invite you, as well as female
golfers from Maitland, Sunset and
Blackhorse, to come out and play a
fun scramble before a full porkchop
supper in the dining lounge. Please
contact Maxine Robinson as soon as
possible if interested.
Wednesday, June 1 the club hosted
a busload of golfers supporting the
Big Brothers. This is an annual event
the club has glady supported and
look forward to continued
participation for years to come.
Following the group the 20 patient
Wednesday senior morning men
reclaimed their course. The winners
were: low net, Glenn McMichael;
second, Gar Lawrence and Jamie
Sanderson finishing third. Ed Daer
shot a 39 to take low gross with
Brian Skinn coming in with a 40.
Wayne Gordon went home with the
prize for longest putt. It was great to
see Lawrence, our Kitchener native
member back as well as the birthday
boy, 91-year-old Clayton Ruppel,
take part in the day.
The Thursday night men had a
record turnout this past week with 66
golfers enjoying a great night for
golf. Dave Bartman was winner of
the longest drive with Mark Foxton
winning closest to the pin (inches
away from a hole in one). The
longest putt winners were Doug
Vanderwoude, Kent McPherson and
Jay Marston and hidden scores went
to Jason Goodall, Neil Bieman, Dan
McPherson, Shawn Jolliffe, Ryan
Walker and Lloyd Erb. Marston
again captured low gross with a great
round of 36.
Friday, the club’s monthly wing
night was again successful with
about 60 hungry patrons out for a
real treat.
Saturday, despite a severe
thunderstorm in the morning, Dave
Montgomery still managed to round
up the Goodtimers hockey team to
come out and enjoy a beautiful
afternoon and 18 holes of golf.
On Sunday, the club hosted a
retirement party for Pat Templeman.
Pat a 29-year employee from Zehrs
in Listowel, with around 50 co-
workers, family and friends,
played nine holes of golf followed
by a barbecue lunch on the scenic
patio.

Close call
The Brussels Tigers travelled to Blyth to take on the
Barons in Huron County Fastball League action on Friday
night. The Barons stormed past a two-run Tigers lead with
a three-run seventh inning to beat the Tigers by a score of
7-6, spoiling the Tigers’ first game of the season. (Jim Brown
