Cobourg Force won the Intermediate Championship on Sunday defeating Alvinston 3-0 in Game 1 to win.

Cobourg Force defeated Ottawa Easton 10-3 in the winners category.

Ottawa Easton then lost to Alvinston Indians, who had defeated the Elmira Cubs in the bottom of the seventh.

Sunday turned out beautiful, some sun and good wind to dry the diamonds out along with some good fastball.

On behalf of Cobourg Legion Minor Softball we want to thank everyone who came out and who followed it on the internet.

We had some visitors to Legion Fields who had never seen the diamonds and were impressed with the facility. As we all know it’s the workers of the facility who make what it is, so we thank them again for their tremendous hard work and dedication over the weekend.

Thanks,
Greg Rylott and Scott Tuttle

Editor’s Note: Wayne Wells of Cobourg will be pitching for Waterdown Hammer next week at the ToC, while Gord Scott and Doug Charlton, who were on the mound for Alvinston will be with Palermo Athletics. One of the biggest questions will be whether or not Corey Costello will be making the trip to Wisconsin with Ottawa Team Easton Thunder. Finishing fourth won’t be enough to satisfy Elmira as they will look to return to the dominating form they showed in Harriston/Palmerston.

Elmira will be in the first Ballpark Radio broadcast on Sunday at 10:30 am central time vs Hoffman Rise while Waterdown will follow at 12:30 pm vs Keating’s Fitness.
