EVERYBODY'S OUT -- Clarington baseball teams didn't have much success when playoff time rolled around this year.

We aren't sure of the details for the younger teams, but we do know that the senior Falcons exited from the playoffs on Friday night, while the juniors were beat out on Sunday afternoon. In both cases, Little Britain were the spoilers. There's always next year. 328 RITSON RD.
