Coming or going?
Frozen in time it's difficult to tell whether John Gibbings is
letting go or making a barehanded catch. As he was
pitching for the Naturals of Blyth in a game against the
Brussels Pros during the Optimist tournament this past
weekend in Brussels it does clarify things a bit. The
tournament A went to the Bullits from Listowel, who
defeated the Body Glove from Blyth. Wroxeter's Red
Dogs defeated, Used, Abused and Confused from Exeter
to take the B.
