A week ago some players off Foldens Machine Works competed in Men’s C in Super Series and the Pandas team they played for ended up losing in the final. Some ladies from the Tillsoburg league competed for Phoenix and Fireball. Fireball finished with a 2-2 record, unsure on Phoenix’s record. There is some good local talent playing in other divisions as well.
