Both minor soccer and baseball are saying that this was a huge summer for minor sports in Seaforth, According to minor soccer organizer Sandra Melady, there were 12 house league teams and four travel teams. More than 200 children took part in soccer this summer which is up from last year. Melady said she hopes for more local interest in soccer. "I think it's coming, but it will take time." She said she'd like to see the number of travel teams go up. "1 think I'd like to get more interest with the travel (teams) because I think more kids want more of a challenge," said Melady. "House league is fun but it's nice to have a little more competition." "It's good to see more kids get involved with the travel to make it more challenging," said Melady. Pete Rowntree said that this year was a good year for Seaforth baseball. He said that three teams won an A Championship during this year's season with a possibility of the batams also winning in the next few weeks. This year was also a milestone for minor baseball in town as there was an all -girls squirt team. "It was a challenge for them, in that a lot of the team players to make a girls squirt team, were brought up from mites," said Rowntree. "They had a challenging year." "Hopefully next year, if they stay together, they'll have a lot better shot at things," said Rowntree. The minor baseball teams in Seaforth play teams from Scoreboard__ MEN'S SOCCER St.Columban,Shamrocks 3 - Simcoe Thunder 3 Sept. 12 in Simcoe Scorers: Mark Muir, Kevin Murray, Brian Melady Coaches' comment: St.Columban is fighting to stay up in first division next year by avoiding finishing in the bottom two places while Simcoe is fighting for first place in the division with the premiership in the their sights. Despite being emotionally down to start the second half, St.Columban came out hard and dominated most of the play. An excellent effort was put forth by all but especially defenders Steve Ryan, Terry Sloan and Jeff Murray, who helped St.Columban earn the point by shutting Simcoe's potent offence down in the second half. St,Columban's next and final home game will be Sunday, Sept. 19th at 4 p.m. at St.Columban field against Wallaceburg.

Rowntree said that in the past a lot of Seaforth teams had become A or B champs. "I really admire all the coaches. They did a great job with the kids," said Rowntree. Next year, both Seaforth's minor haseball and minor soccer groups are considering a move that would create an executive for each of their organizations. "1 think next year with the new soccer committee set up, it will be run a little smoother and will hopefully make a difference with the season," said Melady. Your Alzheim "We want to become more organized. Get a true executive, get & president, vice-president, treasurer and that kind of thing," said Rowntree. He said this year that minor baseball organizers ran into a problem when more kids signed up for the sport this spring and they ran out of uniforms. Rowntree hopes that an executive will help eliminate that problem from happening in the future. This year more than 200 kids played on nine haseball teams ranging from junior mite to bantam which is up from last year. "We have doubled up in the number of kids out," said Rowntree.
