We need to get MUCH more work in to be competitive, but a good time was had by all.
The girls saw how ball is supposed to be played.
The weather didn't really hamper anything as the ground crew kept the fields in great shape.
Very nice and gracious personnel were at the locations we played. The volunteers were super !
Looking forward to playing next year. Thanks again on a well run event.
Sincerely,
