Its disappointing that the playoffs did not come to be. Speaking with a few teams they do like the idea of running the playoffs as a final tournament for our league but it needs to be determined at the beginning of the year including the date and park. Hopefully we can secure a park early next season to run the tournament

We have a number of teams that have make ups and/or rainout games to make up and can use up the time we have at the park to do so. We have the park until July 22. Teams also have the option to set up games with teams that they feel will help them get prepared for their provincials.

Bill will be contacted and I will let him know we will still need the Blues services to help us get prepared.

Please contact me to let me know what your plans are for scheduling your missed games and exhibition games at Moody so we can fill the spots.

The next tournament we have on our list is the Sr.A provincials. I haven't heard how many teams will be attending but my guess is about 10 teams. I would like to arrange a meeting for Wednesday July 7th to discuss with teams that are participating in the Sr.A provincials what needs to be done for our hosting of this provincials.

If you are interested in supporting us, please email Marie or call at 778-773-3508.

Wearing a Team Canada uniform was a thrill beyond compare. The Games featured 31 sports from 105 nations, with 4800 athletes participating. The Games were a huge, world class event that we will never forget. 45,000 screaming, crazy sports fans at opening ceremonies was pretty incredible.

South Hill/River House

The South Hill/River House SPIRITS, Senior B Women's Team is looking for a couple more players to join their team for the upcoming season.

Cal reports:

TEAM KAOS was in the final, once again, at the Provincial Sr. A. Championships, held in Victoria. This time they had to settle for the silver as they were defeated by the Renegades for the second time in the playoff round.

KAOS finished first in the RR, and shutout wins over Sunfire and Wiley's Angels in the playoff round gave them the opportunity to defend their title. The Renegade bats were too hot, and the results were determined.

A great tournament for all KAOS players, as they also took two of the three individual awards..........

- TOP BATTER - Cheryl Chan - with a .734 BA
- TOP PITCHER - Deb Tidy - with an ERA just over 1.00

Kaos, Islanders, Oakeys and Sunfire will be representing "Moody" in the 7 team tournament.

Cavaliers, Guns & Spirits also participated in the tournament. Guns made it through to the playoff round and placed fourth.

Jaime Murray reported:

As in the past, Home and Visitor will be decided by an umpire coin toss at home plate. Also each team supplies a "good" game ball

More details will follow regarding funeral arrangements.

Suzy will be at the park on Tuesday at about 8:00 pm to hand out the surveys to teams that are there. Sue will take the rest and make sure they get out.

In their half of the inning Islanders also sacrificed the runner to third with their first at bat. After the second batter grounded out to short stop, Marissa M. hit a long fly ball into left field to bring in the winning run.

The final results were:

The final results were:

Sunfire coach Kathy Lane reports:

"The final score did not really reflect the majority of evenly played innings between Sunfire & Storm. Sunfire scored early in the first and held on to that slim lead in a very closely contested four innings. In the fifth, the Sunfire was able to string a few hits together adding three more runs, and repeated the task in the sixth. Timely hitting, strong defense and a great pitching performance by Lisa Ekman, who threw the complete game, culminated in a gratifying win for the Sunfire. Sunfire thanks all players, coaches, fans and executive for another season of enjoyable ball."

Storm coach Rob Upton wrote to say:

"Surrey Storm would like to thank the NWSWFA executive for their support and leadership in this, our first season in the Moody Park League.

Thanks to everyone that was out to watch the Playoff Final last night and congratulations the the Sunfire on their win. We wish them good luck at the Senior A Nationals.

Thankyou again for a great season and we look forward to next year."

The infield was in great shape and Kevin was set up announcing...even had a few spectators in the bleachers.

Please note....because we do announce at the Moody games...please supply your game line up to the umpire and the announcer, with players numbers / defense position / and first "and" last name (no nicknames please).  

Have a great season everyone.
