Eastern Ontario ISC II "Challenge Cup" set for McNab diamonds

This just in - the ISC II Challenge Cup tournament for eastern Ontario will be held at the McNab Centre diamonds this August.

This is the first year for the 'eastern' version of this tournament, which has been previously held in the southwestern Ontario for the last three years in Hillsburgh.

The tournament will be held on the weekend of August 24-26, hosted by Harold MacMillan and his capable crew from the McNab/Braeside Minor Softball Association. The McNab diamonds are about 15 minutes northwest of Arnprior off Highway 17 and feature three lit diamonds which should make scheduling easier.

The Challenge Cup format has area leagues send representatives to play off in a double knockout tournament, with the winner earning a berth to represent the area in the 2008 ISC Tournament of Champions in Wisconsin.

The number of spots to be allotted in the Challenge Cup and the participating leagues will be determined over the next couple of months. If your league is interested in participating, contact Blair Setford at blairjs_at_rogers.com or fitzroyfastball_at_yahoo.ca and we can work out the details.

The GOFL already confirmed its participation at the 2007 league meeting earlier this year.
