re RE _-- 24- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 23, 1998 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" PORT PERRY STAR JEFF MITCHELL / PORT PERRY STAR ON THE MOVE: The Scugog Soccer pitches were jammed with players and spectators last weekend as the local soccer club held its annual Sponsor Day. Dozens of area teams got into the action and there was lots to cheer about as players of all ages strutted their stuff out on the field in front of friends and family. Here some players make their way up the field in a game which was won 7-4 by Books Galore and More over Weathershield. ~ Fields of Dreams Fifth annual fundraiser for Scugog's recreational facilities will be held June 26-28 throughout the township By Chris Hall Port Perry Star Close to 100 ball teams are expect- ed to converge upon Scugog next weekend when the fifth annual Fields of Dreams tournament is held at local diamonds. Scugog will once again be packed with players during the June 26-28 event, a fundraiser held for recreation in Scugog, and, at the present time, for the lighting of three diamonds. Frank Fielding, chair of the com- mittee, says that diamonds in the Port Perry, Seagrave, Nestleton and Greenbank areas will be put to use that weekend when approximately 100 teams from throughout south- central Ontario come to compete in the large slo-pitch ball tournament. With 86 teams registered last year and a steady increase of about 15 teams each year, Mr. Fielding says that the 1998 edition of the Fields of Dreams tournament should be yet another successful one. "Over the last two years we've managed to pull together $22,000 and have got the service in and now have one lighted," he said, estimating the total cost to come to around $95,000. "The main expense was the main feedline, there's not as much left to do now." And, he says, as soon as enough money has been raised for the lights, it's up to the committee to decide what community project is next. "It's the Scugog Mens' Slo-Pitch League that's kind of looking after it but we're not the ones to profit from it; it's the players and town that does," he said, adding that there is a $250 registration fee for each team. As well, he says, the Yuk Yuk's comedy troupe will provide an evening of entertainment Saturday (June 27) night at the arena. Proceeds from the ticket sales -- which are $10 with the show starting at 8:30 p.m. -- will also go to lighting the diamonds. The event will be divided up into six divisions -- four mens and two mixed -- and Mr. Fielding asks that the majority of the team be made of players over the age of 18. "This is a fun weekend for every- one who enjoys playing ball and it gives us a chance to raise money for the baseball programs here. "We didn't make too much money in the first two years but the last couple we have and we're looking to add to that this year." Anyone interested in placing a team in the tournament can register at Pineridge Sports in the Port Perry Plaza.
