A disvison semi's and finals were incomplete and all four teams split the prize money.
Sorry for a bit of incomplete reporting this weekend due to the mayhem the whether was causing a couple game sheets went awol.
A lot of hard work goes for naught as this crazy rain filled summer creates more havoc for fastball in Southern Ontario. Try again next year.
Thanks for the reporting Al.
