This was our second second consecutive year hosting this tournament, and with all the hard work and support, it was again a success. The conveners of the tournament, Wayne Griffiths and Mike Wakely, as usual, did an excellent job keeping keeping everything on schedule. The scorekeepers at the two parks did a great job and we appreciate their volunteered help. Also, thanks to the umpires; the games cannot be played without them. I would like to thank Port Hope Parks and Recreation for allowing us to use its facilities again this year, and for keeping the diamond in good condition and lined for each game. I would also like to thank and congratulate the Kendal coaches and team players for contributing their time the entire weekend. They were either at the park playing baseball, or helping to keep the tournament organized. Again this year, the Kendal Kendal Eagles were semi-finalists. There are many people to thank who spent the entire weekend at the Kendal park volunteering their time: the barbecue staff, Bob Robinson and Ralph Kennedy; canteen helpers, helpers, Shirley Robinson, Jane Kennedy Kennedy and Debbie Griffiths; and also those who helped at the refreshment tent. Your hard work is very much appreciated. Most importantly, a special thanks to the people who came out to show their support at the ball parks, watching the ball games, purchasing purchasing 50/50 draw tickets, refreshments, refreshments, etc. Thanks again to you all.

The advertised times for both days (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) remain unchanged. BRHL clinic shifted to Rec Complex instead of Darlington arena Tnc clinic is conducted each year, and for many of the potential referees, it is their first introduction to wearing a striped shirt.

A number of former BRHL referees referees who have gone on to work games in the OHA and OHL will help with the clinic.

For further information, contact Dob Drummond at 623-6402, by Brad Kelly The senior boys' volleyball team from Courtice Secondary School will travel great lengths in search of competition. Even as far as Florida. Fourteen players, along with head coach John Prata, will depart for the sunny south on Wednesday, October 5, to participate in a North American high school volleyball tournament. Ten teams from the United States, including the host school from Orlando, as well as two Canadian Canadian teams have entered the tournament. tournament. In addition to Courtice, a high school from Burlington will also be making the trek south. In the planning stages for the past year, the whole trip came about innocently innocently enough. "We got a brochure and joked about going down. Then, a week later, later, we said 'let's do it,"' explained Prata. The team Has undergone some extensive fundraising in order to alleviate alleviate some of the financial pressures pressures centered around the trip. A car wash, bake sale, raffle, and raffle ticket sales are just some of the numerous numerous undertakings the team has taken on. With six returning players from last year's LOSSA 'AA' championship championship squad, Prata is confident that his team will give a good account of itself during next month's tournament. tournament. "I think we'll hold our own," he predicted. "We won't get blown out, and will probably win a few games. I anticipate the U.S. schools will be good, but we also have a good squad." Mixed in with the indoor tournament, tournament, Courtice players may get an opportunity to play the outdoor variety variety on die beaches of Orlando. Beach volleyball has become a very popular participation sport in the U.S., and the pro circuit that operates operates draws large crowds to each of its venues. Prata is hoping that the trip to Florida will bring the team closer together together as they attempt to qualify for the Ontario finals (OFSAA) this year. A year ago, after winning LOSSA, Courtice was defeated at the DYSSAA championships, and eliminated from further play. This year, a ruling has eliminated the DYSSAA playoff step, enhancing enhancing the chances of a team advancing to OFSAA. "We hope with a little hard work to advance to OFSAA this year," which is being held in Madoc, said Prata. But, before that can transpire, there is one more fundraising event the team will be involved with. On Thursday afternoon, the student body will be able to buy their way out of class to attend a game against Pereyma High School Last year, Courtice defeated Pereyma Pereyma in the gold medal match at LOSSA.
