GOFL playoffs to begin next week

The Greater Ottawa Fastball Season is now over with the completion of the 63 game regular season and the playoffs begin next week.

First place bye
The Quyon Combat Flyers earned top spot with a 15-0-3 record. The only blemishes on the record of the Flyers were ties against Barrhaven, Stittsville and Fitzroy Harbour. With the first place finish, the Flyers earn the bye into the GOFL "Final Weekend Showdown" (FWS) double-knockout tournament to determine the league playoff champion. Quyon will be hosting the event, which will feature an interesting addition to the program to be announced soon.

Best-of-five playoff series to advance to the FWS

2nd place Kars Aces (11-7) vs 7th place Stittsville 56ers (5-12-1)

June 30: Kars 11 Stittsville 10
July 25: Stittsville 7 Kars 2

3rd place Barrhaven Broadway Blues (7-8-3) vs 6th place Carp I4C Victory (6-12)
Third through sixth in the standings were very close this season with only five points separating the teams. An indication of that is that the Carp, the sixth seed, swept the season series over the Blues with three wins.
June 1: Carp 1 Barrhaven 0

July 7: Carp 3 Barrhaven 1

4th place Ottawa Blitz (7-9-2) vs 5th place Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric (7-10-1)
