This past weekend Summerland Minor Softball hosted its Mothers Day tournament for the U14 and U19 divisions.
There were 15 teams in attendance from as far away as Red Deer, Alta., Ridge Meadows, Fleetwood, North Surrey, Mission and South Delta from the Fraser Valley.
Okanagan teams also participated with our local U14 team coached by Tyler Chick and our U19 team coached by Juanita Kruger.
The weather was warm and sunny, perfect for a weekend of softball.
For the U19 the gold medals went to Red Deer, the silver to Chilliwack and the bronze to Kelowna. Westside placed fourth.
For the U14s, the gold medals went to Fleetwood, silver to Kelowna and the bronze to Westside.
The Summerland U14s placed fourth.
Summerland Minor Softball would like to thank Carol Van Balkom for her longevity of leadership.
She has lead the way in Summerland for the past 20 years.
The organizers would also like to thank Lindsea Cutt for organizing our tournaments this year, and our many volunteers including Darryn and Diane McCullough, Dave and Heather Martin, Mike Wright, Mae Kruger, Joe Cutt, Tom Nelson, Rachelle Yeoman, umpires and all the parent helpers.
Summerland Minor Softball will host a one-day U10 event on May 30 at Dale Meadows as well. Come out to cheer on the young players.
The league’s next big event will be the Senior Ladies and Junior C Provincials July 24 to 26.
