Novice Marlins to compete in nationals
The Palmerston Novice Marlins are headed to White Rock, British Columbia the week of Aug. 6 to 10 to compete in the U14 Girls Jamboree – Canadian Fastpitch Championships.
The Marlins, a team of girls from Palmerston, Drayton, Chesley, Walkerton, Brussels, and Cargill, have been working hard since December for the opportunity to compete with the best and represent Ontario.
They were selected by Softball Canada to represent Ontario at the nationals based on their standing in play this season.
The squad includes some second-year players with experience from earning a silver medal at the Eastern Canadian Championships last season.
“The veterans knew what it would take and the young first-year novice girls jumped right in,” officials state.
The team is currently raising funds to help with travel costs to families. Anyone wishing to donate can visit palmerstonmarlins.com.
