Loughborough Fastball League update

report from Jeff Hannah

The LFL is back and running this season with 8 teams. Unfortunately two teams have folded from last year and one new team has been added.

The Kingston Cowboys and Enterprise Oasis Pools teams were not able to confirm enough players for the season so both have folded. Personally it was a tough day to fold the Cowboys after many years of success in the LFL!

The new team added is the Napanee Shoeless Joe's Juniors. Who will also be the host team at the 2011 Junior Nationals.

The teams this year are:

North Fred Kings (defending league champions)
Sunbury Merchants
Sydenham Men's
Sydenham Midgets
Napanee North Key Junior Express (2011 Junior Canadian defending champs)
Napanee Shoeless Joe's Junior Express (2011 Junior Canadian host)
Napanee Midgets
Newburgh 86ers

The league has gone back to playoff series after two years of an end of the year tournament. The top 6 teams will make the playoffs, with the top two getting a first round bye.

The league has a 22 game schedule with two Showcase nights where all teams will play. Games will be at 6:30 and 8:30. Thursday June 16th at Keeley Rd diamonds in Sydenham. Thursday July 21 at the Napanee Fairgrounds.

I don't think it's online anywhere, but I do have a copy of it. It's not in a blog friendly format, but if anyone wants a copy they can send me an email to fastball@fitzroyharbour.com and I'll send it to you.
