Gadsby / Westwoods
Gadsby’s long-weekend ball tournament was a home run, with 11 teams participating. More than 50 children were on hand for the kids’ games. The concession was kept very busy and the weather was perfect.
In the A Division, the winners were Loose Mitts Limp Sticks (Stettler) and second place went to Pist N’ Broke (Stettler).
The B winners were Worthwhile (Red Deer), while second spot went to Speed Goats (Castor). The C champions were Sluggin ’n Chuggin (Clive), with Retread (Stettler) as runner-up.
