Everyone was a winner
By Kathy Bromley
BLYTH - Baseball ended Saturday for the
Youth Leagues in Blyth with a Grand Finale
Tournament. Each of the 12 teams played
three games. The difference with this tour-
nament to any others was that everyone
came out winners as each player received a
trophy in recognition of their year of par-
ticipation. The looks on their faces said it all
- it was well worth enjoyment and effort.
Now hockey is the next goal. Where did
the summer go?
