Team Canada Cornwall Masters team

from Jason Woodside

Just wanted to send an update for the team from Cornwall that is participating in the 2009 World Masters in Sydney, Australia. Team is playing in 35+ Competitive division.

After 8 games in 4 days, team is sitting with 6-2 record. (only losses were on day 1, we're blaming jet lag). Four more preliminary round games to go, 2 on Thurs and 2 on Friday (note: I received this on Wednesday, but it went into my SPAM folder so I missed it until now).

We're using a Facebook page to post scores for friends and family back home: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/2009-World-Masters-Games-Team-Canada-Cornwall-Fastball/177292199828?ref=ts
