Killarney Shamrocks welcoming alumni from all over back for golf tournament
The Killarney Lakeside Golf Course will be the host site for the inaugural Killarney Shamrocks Alumni Golf Tournament this upcoming weekend.
One of the organizers, Tyler Shiels, couldn't be more excited for what the weekend will bring. "It's the first ever Killarney Shamrocks alumni golf event and it'll be at the Killarney Lakeside Golf Course," he explains with a big smile. "It starts at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday."
U13 Storm go undefeated, capture gold at recent tournament
It was a magical run for the U13 Winkler Storm as they blew away the competition at their most recent tournament, winning a total of seven games before dispatching Hamiota in the finals to take home the gold.
"We're made up of girls from our two Winkler teams," head coach Dan Giesbrecht explains. "We have tryouts for provincials for those girls that want to try out. We pick our team, then we practice sometimes during the season, and we entered one tournament in Steinbach. After our league playdowns are done, we focus and we enter the provincials."
U13 Eastman Wildcats survive and thrive at Peppers Classic
It wasn't an ideal start, but the U13 Wildcats never quite, battling right to the end, claiming victory in the silver bracket of the Peppers Classic in Mankato, Minnesota.
"It's super fun," coach Jason Plett says when looking back over the year to this point. "They're definitely getting closer as a team every game and every practice. There have been highs and lows during games, being it's the U13 age, but it's awesome to see how they pick each other up, work through those tough times and getting better."
Prairie Queens make royal entrance into Manitoba Women's Slow Pitch League
A new powerhouse in Manitoba's women's slow pitch is making waves both on and off the diamond. The Prairie Queens, a competitive slow pitch team led by sisters Melora Barton and Ashley Ozunko, recently clinched the provincial title with a perfect 6-0 record, a remarkable achievement for a team in its very first season.
The idea for the team started as a casual conversation between the sisters, who had been subbing with other women's teams.
