RA League a go for 2007, adds Women's Fastball

RA CENTRE MAINTAINS MEN’S FASTBALL & INTRODUCES WOMEN’S FASTBALL LEAGUE

Ottawa Valley Raiders Owner Shawn Moher and General Manger Roy Black are pleased to announce that the RA Centre will once again offer men’s fastball in 2007. This “open” league is now called the “RA Men's Fastball League,” abandoning the former “Grey Division” moniker.

At Wednesday night’s coaches meeting, RA Centre officials confirmed that a men’s fastball league will proceed with at least four teams: CBU Publishing, Orleans Midget Rebels, Ottawa Valley Raiders, and Team Six. Matt Greer and the Shawville Snappers are also thought to be interested in joining the League. However, they were not in attendance on Wednesday night.

The four team league will play 12 regular season games on Mondays and Wednesdays.

The playoffs will consist of two rounds of best-of-five games. Gold, silver and bronze awards will be presented to the first, second and third-place teams, respectively.

There will also be a Women's Fastball League at the RA this year. The six team league will play most games at the RA Centre, and some games at other sites to promote their comeback.
