The Durham Lords Women's Collegiate Fastball team won silver on October 
20-23 at the 2005 OCAA Women's Fastball Championships in Hamilton, at 
Mohawk Sports Park hosted by Mohawk College.  On their way to their silver 
medal performance; the Lords completed their third straight perfect 12-0 
regular season, Durham captured the regular season pennant for the ninth 
consecutive season, and it was the program’s ninth consecutive Championship 
medal finish and 18th in 19 seasons.

The Lords also earned some individual hardware, as the OCAA Women’s 
Fastball Championship Awards Banquet was part of the festivities over the 
weekend.  Unbelievably, Coach Jim Nemish (17th season) was named OCAA Coach 
of the Year for just the second time in his illustrious 17-year OCAA career 
(2000 Coach of the Year).

Assistant coach, Rosemary Theriault (3rd Season) said it best, “Finally, 
it’s amazing when you think that Jim has been coaching in this league for 
17 years and has won a medal every year but one.”  Nemish, was quick to 
pass on the accolades to his staff, “It’s nice to finally get some 
recognition for all of the hard work of all of our coaches – I share it 
with them because we work together, we’re a team”.  His resume speaks for 
itself, including 265 career OCAA wins, 16 medal finishes in 17 seasons and 
a 56 game conference unbeaten streak.

Not to be outdone, Jim’s players; shortstop Kristy Kelly (3rd Year Nursing) 
and centre fielder Kathy Glen (1st Year Dental Reception) were selected as 
OCAA League All-Stars, while Kristy also took home the OCAA batting title, 
and the title of OCAA Top Hitter.  She batted .467 with 14 hits, 12 runs 
scored and 10 RBIs in 30 plate appearances.

“I was happy with the year I had,” said Kristy Kelly.  “I just tried to 
stay focused and hit the ball hard, and having all my teammates cheering me 
on always helped”.
