                                    The tournament got underway very well on Friday with special opening ceremonies under the direction of Chris Peters from the Lockerby Legion .The deputy mayor Ron Dupuis and MP Claude Gravelle spoke a few words prior to this year’s honorary chair Jim Kirkwood and chairperson Ike McDonald before Gravelle threw out the first opening pitch . Saturday was going well with and early afternoon stoppage due to rain but Sunday was the breaker as the constant downpour prevented any more games to be played ..The participating teams were : Toronto Bongos ,Dieppe T-Hawks ,North Stars ,the Relics ,the Sudbury Selects and the Sucker Creek Raiders .You’ll find attached a few photos of the teams involved . We are back in Azalea for the 29th edition in 2015 .
