2018 Season – Message from Charlene :-)

And that’s a wrap, congratulations Mike’s Finishers on winning the playoffs, although the entire stands would have liked to see another game (we never want the season to end) you managed to pull it off in two with a 3-1 win Tuesday and 2-1 win tonight.

 

It seems only fitting that you have the first and second place team square off in the best of three final series and also that it cost the league more money in the fact that they have to provide two sets of jackets.  With only two points separating first and second at the end of the season it is nice to both teams get to share in a winning season.

 

I don’t recall such a low scoring series, both games done within the hour, I would say that could be a record for slo-pitch which is a game that is not supposed to be about the pitching but we definitely had a great pitching matchup tonight thanks to Ann and Gwen, followed with solid defence on both sides.

 

Well done Dog Stop on your season win and well done Mike’s Finishers on your playoff win.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank your executive Anne, Ellen, Merle, Dianne, Teresa, Jackie, Karen, Kerry, captains and their crew Lynn, Tracy, Tanya, Debra, Roberta, Donna, Kayleigh, Gwen, Elaine, Gail, Diane, Karen, Kelly, Eva, Ann, Jodi, Julie, Jennifer, Amanda, Rosanna, Karen, Tamara, Bev, Mary, my helpful scorekeepers who allowed me to go to my granddaughter’s games once a week (Julie, Gay, Luanne and Louise) and our sponsors Artistic Expressions, Centurians, Dog Stop, K Design, Mike’s Matte Finishers, Sothebys, Vesta, and Watch Us Women, it takes a village to run the sisterhood.

 

We have been very lucky in our 33 years to have ladies step in to fill positions on the executive, some years it seems like a daunting task but the love of the league and a desire to keep it running seems to prevail in the end and we are thankful for that.

 

I love this league and all the support and friendships I have made and continue to make, we are very fortunate to be part of something that is bigger than all of us.

 

See you at the banquet.

Week #19 Results September 3rd – September 6th, 2018

From Charlene to the GALS:

Congratulations Dog Stop well deserved 2018 season champions.

As season 2018 comes to an end I want to applaud all teams but special shout out to the top 2 teams, Mike’s Finishers who went 14 games (league record) till their first defeat and our season champions Dog Stop who took the last half the season with 12 straight wins to finish #1.

Watching an interview with Jay’s management the other day and they were talking about all the trades that have happened over the past few weeks, the one thing that stood out was a comment that they have the talent but what wins games is team chemistry, he stated it accounted for 70% of having a winning team.

We all know that this weekend brings out team chemistry in all our Gals, so much fun we enjoy sharing with one another, let’s hope the weather co-operates, good luck to all, bring your skills but mostly your chemistry and have fun.
