The Provincial Womens Softball Association (Grand Valley league) held their final wrap up tournament in Six Nations (Ohsweken) from Aug. 16 to 18.
Games began early on a chilly Saturday morning with the Palmerston Novice Marlins facing off against the host Six Nations (5 –1)team followed games with the Guelph Gators (4-3) and Enniskillen Express (3-1). In all three games the girls were victorious and displayed a wide variety of great baseball and athletic skills practiced and learned this past season from their coaches and through the tremendous competition they experienced this year, team officials state.
The three wins gave them a bye until early Sunday afternoon. The Guelph Gators awaited the Marlins for a chance to advance to the next round. However, the Marlins defeated them (10-1) to go on to the Gold Medal game against the Express. Enniskillin came ready to play, but coaches, family and friends cheered the Marlins on in a very close nail that resulted in a 5-3 win and a gold medal.
Coach Kelly Culp says her “Dream Team” should all be very proud of their accomplishments.
The Marlins will be holding tryouts in early September for the 2015 season. Interested players should check out the Marlins organization’s website for details
