THOMAS The St. Thomas Centennial Sports Club and the 2009 Canadian Senior Men’s Fastball Championship Host Committee proved the experience counts. The week long championship was well organized, with excellent facilities, perfect weather for all but the opening day (bit of rain) and solid support from the local business community and fans. With the host team copping the Bronze Medal (back to back after claiming the same last year in Saskatoon, and following up on its two gold medals from 2005 and 2006) local interest was piqued. The 270+ volunteers, many of them repeaters from hostings in 1999 and 2005, fulfilled their responsibilities with an abundance of smiles each and every day. The refreshment tent and food court were generous in size, meticulously clean and the “healthy menu options” were appreciated by those who were at the park for eight days straight. Note to Softball Canada – awarding the event once again to St. Thomas should be a “slam-dunk” decision. The local citizens and Jumbo the elephant are “all ears” waiting for the news in a few years. It’s the Softball Canada National Championship, with province against province and team against team. In the Kitchener Hallman Rivershark Twins vs Jarvis First Ontario Gamblers gold medal game, it was brother against brother as Twins C Sean O’Brien receives a Don Scott pitch behind Gamblers DH Rob O’Brien. The siblings learned softball basics in Newfoundland. • • • • • • Bring this ad in for 20% off your meal purchase.
